. This article considers the role of Hecatomnid women in the public presentation of the dynasty. It examines the rule and co-rule of women in Caria, the reasons for the dynasty's practice of sibling marriage, the dynasty's apparent indifference to the creation of heirs, and the impact of the role of Hecatomnid women on the Hellenistic dynasties. It argues that the position of women in the Hecatomnid dynasty was a function of a family dynamic and image shaped by the precarious nature of rule in the region, particularly by the dynasty's subordination to its Persian overlords.

This paper will evaluate the degree to which, during the reigns of Philip II and Alexander III (an era which produced most of our evidence about Macedonian drinking), court symposia actually differed from those of southern Greece. It will argue that Macedonian drinking practices were distinctive in some significant respects and reflect upon the relationship between these drinking habits and the nature of Macedonian monarchy and elite culture. It will suggest that the “unmixed” quality of Macedonian elite culture was more than a mere construct of Demosthenes and other Greek authors.
