Alexander the Great conquered the ancient world. When he died in 323 BCE, his empire began to crumble. But his story lived on, endlessly mythologised across times and cultures. In this fascinating history, Richard Stoneman collects together the legends of Alexander's exploits -- showing how his life has resonated for Christians, Muslims and Jews, in Asia and Europe, for ever two thousand years. |
