A new exploration of ancient history, sacred tradition, royal intrigue, and the extraordinary woman who shaped the rise of Alexander the Great.
DARWIN, Australia - AussieJournal -- Independent author and historian Peta Oakes has announced the release of Olympias: Mother of Alexander, a new work exploring the life, influence, and enduring legacy of one of antiquity's most remarkable women.
Long before Alexander the Great forged one of history's largest empires, Olympias stood at the centre of the dynastic struggles that transformed the ancient Mediterranean world. Queen of Macedon, member of the Molossian royal house of Epirus, and mother of Alexander, she emerged as a powerful political figure whose influence extended across generations.
Drawing upon ancient sources, historical traditions, mythology, religion, and cultural memory, the book examines Olympias beyond the legends that have surrounded her for centuries. Readers are introduced to the royal courts of Macedon, the rise of Philip II, the upbringing of Alexander, the mystery traditions associated with her name, and the political conflicts that followed the death of one of history's most famous conquerors.
