Alexander the Great's life and career are here examined through the
major issues surrounding his reign. What were Alexander's ultimate
ambitions? Why did he pursue his own deification while alive? How
did he administer his conquests? Did he actually set the world in
'a new groove' as has been claimed by some scholars? Each of the
key themes, arranged as chapters, will be presented in
approximately chronological order so that readers unfamiliar with
the life of Alexander will be able to follow the narrative. The
themes are tied to the major controversies and questions
surrounding Alexander's career and legacy. Each chapter includes a
discussion of the major academic positions on each issue, and
includes a full and up-to-date bibliography and an evaluation of
the historical evidence. All source material is in translation.
Designed to bring new clarity to the contentious history of
Alexander the Great, this is an ideal introduction to one of
history's most controversial figures.
