Congratulations to Pat Wheatley and Charlotte Dunn for the publication of Demetrius the Besieger (OUP, 2020). This book offers the first historical and historiographical biography of Demetrius Poliorcetes (336-282 BC) to be published in English. Demetrius was known as ‘The Besieger of Cities’, and presided over the disintegration of Alexander the Great’s Empire after 323 BC.
