I gave this book 3 stars for 3 reasons. First the lack of maps. Although the writer continuously refers to rivers, towns and cities, mountains and mountain passes, borders and etc in kindle edition, there are only three general maps lacking the mentioned details so in order to follow the narrating you have to google them. Second the repeating of the same arguments for the same event in different chapters. The writer had the difficult task to write about events, that no ancient sources exist and if they do exist they are fragmental at best. So he had to use logical arguments in order to establish the sequence of events and also the reason that anything happened . But then he repeated them again and again, sometimes in different chapters as for example about the foundation of Seleukia upon Tigris by Seleukos the I. Third there is a mixture of ancient and modern geography which sometimes gets confusing. For example he chose to use the modern terms, Iran and Iranian people, but for Syria the ancient boundaries. He also chose to use the ancient distinction Macedonian - Greek but I am no sure that this distinction existed outside the Greek peninsula.

This is an excellent account of the rise of Seleukos I and the early Seleukid Empire. It features good if not great maps, is well footnoted, has a thorough bibliography and an error free index (based on my spot checking). Grainger has previously written several books dealing with the history of this period including "Alexander the Great Failure, the Collapse of the Macedonian Empire" as well as several books on the Seleukid Empire. The work under discussion is the first of a trilogy on the history of the Seleukid Empire.Grainger begins with an excellent account, focused on Seleukos, of the competition for power in the period following the assassination of Perdikkas, the Triparadeisos Conference and settlement and the Lamian War and the death of Krateros in battle which had all combined to reduce the serious holders and contenders for power to a half dozen or so. The remainder of his narrative which ends with the death of Seleukos III holds to this standard.He is particularly good at integrating a critical close reading of the usual literary sources with material such as Babylonian scribal records and other epigraphical material as well as numismatic analysis including a particularly fruitful use of recent coin hoard findings. There are also weaknesses in his account. One is the perhaps understandable tendency to over estimate the ability of Seleukos I particularly at the expense of Antigonos Monophthalamos.In addition to this tendency to inflate Seleukos's significance in periods where he clearly played a secondary role one must also note the occasional unacceptable misstatement. I will cite one example: The egregious claim that "several royal marriages linking the Antigonid and Seleukid families rendered Macedon almost a part of the Seleukid kingdom". This is simply untrue and is especially misleading given that the Antigonid kingdom was more stable and far more coherent a polity than the larger and wealthier Seleukid "State".However while keeping these caveats in mind I recommend this book to anyone with a serious interest in the Hellenistic Period.

A very good historical read that tells you a lot about why Alexnader's empire fell and how Seleucos' empire arose. It is fascinating how Selecus rose from nowhere to take over most of the Empire. The book also gives you the historical background of the Galatians and the rise of the Parthians and Graeco-Bactrians.For someone who is loves history, this is a must-read. For those who don't, this is quite an interesting piece as well and is well written

I have waited for a long time for this book by John D. Grainger. I now have the whole trilogy by this author about the Seleucid Empire. I will read all that in the winter time. I am very pleased by the book, the trilogy, and also by the seller of this book who managed to send me the copy pretty quickly.

Rating this was problematic, in the same way that writing a history of the Seleucid Empire is problematic -- the sources are spotty, which leads to a book that is overly detailed about some points and uncomfortably vague about others.

The rise of the Seleukid Empire was for me a first introduction to the empire. It delivered on all the historical information I needed. Explained the creation and the fall of the empire and explained the leaders and the battle that were fought. I was impressed by its easy flow and straight to the point writing that made it easy to understand and remember what you read.Great read

I wish there were more detailed maps. He mentions many cities that just are mapped. Also some pronouncement guides would be great.The content is well presented. He doesn't fill in gaps without warnings and evidence to support his ideas. I'm looking forward to continuing this series.

Worth a read, unfortunately the book ended earlier than I thought. A good read over a period of which I had little knowledge. I found the book reasonably easy to read and enjoyable. Only complaint would the scarcity of maps, but this is a complaint of most books in ancient history.
