Alexander the Great of Macedon was no stranger to controversy in his own time. Conqueror
of the Greek states, of Egypt and of the Persian Empire as well as many of the principalities
of the Indus Valley, he nevertheless became revered as well as vilified. Was he a
simply a destroyer of the ancient civilizations and religions of these regions, or
was he a hero of the Persian dynasties and of Islam? The conflicting views that were
taken of him in the Middle East in his own time and the centuries that followed are
still reflected in the tensions that exist between east and west today. The story
of Alexander became the subject of legend in the medieval west, but was perhaps even
more pervasive in the east. The 'Alexander Romance' was translated into Syriac in
the sixth century and may have become current in Persia as early as the third century
AD. From these beginnings it reached into the Persian national epic, the "Shahnameh",
into Jewish traditions, and into the Qur'an and subsequent Arab romance
