Daniel Ogden's "Polygamy, Prostitutes and Death", first published in 1999, has established itself as the principal guide to the history of royal women and their court intrigues throughout the Hellenistic period. The author supplies clear narrative and analysis of the strategic in-fighting involving the numerous Cleopatras, Laodices and Stratonices, their female rivals, their male relatives, and enemies. Ogden's book does much to establish the importance of royal women for the increasingly-studied Hellenistic age.
