The life of Alexander the Great began to be retold from the moment
of his death. The Greco-Roman authors used these stories as
exemplars in a variety of ways. This book is concerned with the
various stories of Alexander and how they were used in antiquity to
promote certain policies, religious views, and value systems. The
book is an original contribution to the study of the history and
reception of Alexander, analysing the writings of over 70 classical
and post-classical authors during a period of over 700 years.
Drawing on this extensive range and quantity of material, the study
plots the continuity and change of ideas from the early Roman
Empire to the early Middle Ages.
