Item type:Publication, Musings on the Facts and Purpose of Rhaikelos(Živa Antika, 2014)The story of the foundation of Rhaikelos presents a rather problematic piece of history, with a marginal narrative based on sources removed from the actual event by several centuries. The chronology of the tyrannies and exiles of Peisistratos, as well as the possible location of the city, are issues which have been much discussed in modern scholarship. It is now almost certain that Rhaikelos was founded at what is now Peraia near Thessaloniki in 556 BC; however, numerous problems persist. I am of the opinion that Peisistratos actually helped in establishing an Eretrian emporium on the western coast of Chalkidike, the only resource that Eretria could get from there – and for which it was worthwhile to set up a specialised emporium on the coast – being timber from close-by Mt. Kissos. In addition, I argue that king Alketas was not even close to Rhaikelos to be in a state to allow for, or even to facilitate the establishment of a settlement, so that it is entirely possible that the establishment of Rhaikelos took place without the help, approval, participation or collaboration, maybe even without the knowledge of Macedon. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Memnon, the Strategist(Филозофски факултет, Скопје, 2011); The general impression on Memnon of Rhodes that is transmitted by our sources – and is more or less unanimously accepted in modern historiography – is that he may have been the only military commander able to bring the relentless Alexander III to a halt and disrupt his plans. This opinion seems to be based on Memnon’s few successes, which could purportedly imperil the Asian expedition of Alexander: namely, Memnon’s achievements against Parmenio; his sensible proposal to avoid direct altercation with the Macedonians; the gallant defence of Halicarnassus; and particularly, his dangerous naval campaign in the Aegean Sea in 333 BC. In this paper, we will consider whether Memnon’s actions, as well as their results, truly validate the impression and reputation he has acquired both in antiquity and today. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Item type:Publication, How to Etch a Philhellene: Alexander I, Herodotus and historiography as a tool(ZKFM Antika, 2019); The aim of the paper is to re‐evaluate the role and importance of Alexander I during the Persian invasion of Greece, particularly pertaining the embassy to Athens and the night visit before the battle of Plataea. It is maintained that his role and importance in the back‐door dealings between the Athenians and Spartans while he was at Athens is probably exaggerated; while at the same time, in overstepping his role as an envoy of Mardonius, he had in fact harmed his reputation as benefactor and friend of Athens. Concerning the visit before Plataea, there is admittedly a certain pro‐Macedonian nuance in the narrative; yet, this does not mean that it should be treated as a standalone affair, separated from the rest of the narrative, but rather in context of a much larger piece of propaganda which aims to glorify the deeds of Athens at the expense of the Spartan ones – certainly not as an example of an interpretatio Macedonica. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
