Alexander's defeat of the Persian Empire in 331 BC captured the popular imagination,
inspiring an endless series of stories and representations that emerged shortly after
his death and continues today. An art historian and archaeologist, Boardman draws
on his deep knowledge of Alexander and the ancient world to reflect on the most interesting
and emblematic depictions of this towering historical figure.0Some of the stories
in this book relate to historical events associated with Alexander's military career
and some to the fantasy that has been woven around him, and Boardman relates each
with his customary verve and erudition. From Alexander's biographers in ancient Greece
to the illustrated Alexander "Romances" of the Middle Ages to operas, films, and even
modern cartoons, this generously illustrated volume takes readers on a fascinating
cultural journey as it delivers a perfect pairing of subject and author
