AbstractHistoryArchive Description
"This play (written in English and in Greek) aimed to be published first in book form and subsequently to be staged as a theatrical production. Distinguished author Vasso Kalamaras from Perth, Australia, whose writing captures the universal themes of exile, marriage, motherhood, betrayal and more, chose as her subject the legendary queen Olympias of Ancient Macedonia and mother of Alexander the Great. The play explores the fascinating story of a woman (wife, mother and grandmother) who fought courageously against the male order of her day."

Notes
-
Dedication: I dedicate this work to Olympias, Queen of Ancient Macedonia and mother of Alexander the Great, for inspring me: Olympias has been unjustly treated by history. I hope that this play will give people the opportunity to begin to reassess her contribution to our Western civilization.
