Affective Relations and Personal Bonds in Hellenistic Antiquity Studies in honor of Elizabeth D. Carney Edited by Monica D'Agostini, Edward M. Anson and Frances Pownall
Discusses the intra- and extra-familial network ruling the Mediterranean world at the time of Philip and Alexander. Building on the methodological approach and theoretical framework engendered by Elizabeth Carney’s research, this book explores the complex web of personal relations governing Alexander the Great’s world. Inspired by Carney’s seminal work on Ancient Macedonia, the volume moves beyond the traditionally rationalist and positivist approaches towards Hellenistic antiquity, into a new area of humanistic scholarship, by considering the dynastic bloodlines as well as the affective relations.

Karia and the Dodekanese Volume II Cultural Interrelations in the Southeast Aegean: II Early Hellenistic to Early Byzantine Edited by Birte Poulsen, Poul Pedersen and John Lund
Highlights cultural interrelations and connectivity in the Southeast Aegean and western Asia Minor. It is clear that close relations existed between the Dodekanese and western Asia Minor during the Classical period but this volume explores their development under the shifting political influences of Hellenistic kings, the Roman Empire and the cosmopolitan late antique period. It examines urbanism, architectural form and embellishment, sculpture, pottery and epigraphy.
