Abstract "Prosopography is the academic study of social networks. Essentially, propsopographers attempt to trace the web of connections between figures across sources in order to explain and contextualise their actions. As Waldemar Heckel (2016 and 2021) has recently demonstrated, such work is pivotal to understanding and, above all, navigating, the personality-driven world of Alexander the Great and his Successors as portrayed in the ancient sources. For this reason, we chose to begin this book with a propsopography, a Dramtis Personae, if you will, so that readers can make their way through what the sources report about the confusing cast of characters who inhabit the world of Alexander's Successors. The entries are organised alphabetically, by name of historical figure, for ease of use. Family trees are located at the end of this chapter."-- Provided by publisher.
