Abstract EN:

This book intends to be a biography. It studies the reign of Antigonus Doson (229- 221 b. C. ), who ruled over Macedonia just for a short period; but it was a moment of great importance. Unwaited as a king, he saved the state, gave to it independence and greatness. He was also a good general; in command of the army, during an expedition to Asia, he permitted that the Antigonids could renew their influence over the region. He created also the Hellenic league, so as he controlled most part of Greece. His successor and ward, Philip V, inherited a powerful kingdom.

Abstract FR:

Ce livre est une biographie. Il étudie le règne d’Antigone Dôsôn (229-221 av. J. C. ), qui n'exerça le pouvoir sur la Macédoine que brièvement ; mais ce souverain a marqué ses contemporains. Roi-sauveur inattendu, il a rendu à l'état indépendance et grandeur. Général de talent, il a mené une expédition en Asie et a permis aux Antigonides de rétablir leur influence dans cette zone. Créateur de la ligue hellénique, il a mis la plus grande partie de la Grèce sous sa domination. Son successeur et pupille, Philippe V, hérite d'un royaume fort.
