About this title

Synopsis

Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) was a conqueror, ruler of a world empire and God. This book brings together for the first time the military, political and cultural achievements of Alexander, their legendary embodiment through posterity, as well as the enormous history of impact of the Macedon in one large representation. Alexander the Great was an explorer, statesman and integration figure for peoples of different cultures and religions. His life story is interspersed with heroic deeds and miracle narratives. Alexander Demandt describes the path of Prince Alexander to become ruler of Macedonia and Greece as well as the empire, society and culture of the Persians. At the centre of his equally exciting and informative narrative are the Alexander Train through Asia Minor, the Levant and Egypt, the victorious military conflicts with the Persian great king Darius, finally the path of Alexander to the wonderland of India and the lossful return to Babylon - the capital of his new empire. In addition, the reader will gain a concise overview of the beginnings of Hellenism, on basic principles of Alexander's reign, as well as his image in the mirror of reception from antiquity to the present.
