		It is high time for another attempt at Gonatas' life, and this is what Janice Gabbert now offers, in 72 pages of text and seven of notes.
		Tarn saw writing Antigonos' life as a mechanism for lending structure to this sprawling time; under the guise of biography, Tarn produced a history of Greece and the Aegean in the third century, which in turn created a context for understanding Antigonos' life and for supporting the interpretations he advanced.
		Aside from the considerable technical problem of updating his references, it is not always an easy task to see where his argument rests not on evidence, or even on generally accepted postulates about the Hellenistic world, but on his own preconceptions.
