Alexander the Great

Beschreibung

Everything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources, which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than everyday mortals. This book explains who Alexander was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new 'mixed' nature combining the human and the divine.

Autor

Thomas R. Martin is the Jeremiah W. O'Connor, Jr Professor in Classics at the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts. He is the author of Ancient Greece and (with Ivy Sui-yuen) Herodotus and Sima Qian.

Rezensionen

'... well edited ... the authors have told an interesting tale and one whose argument provides an interesting foil to the bulk of contemporary Alexander scholarship.' David W. Madsen, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
