Relying on four biographies of Alexander's contemporaries, combined
with modern psychiatric and cultural studies, Cantor describes
Alexander's relations with his parents, his Oedipal complex and his
bisexuality. At the center of the book are Alexander's attempts to
bridge the East and West, the Greek and Persian worlds, especially
his using Achilles, the hero of the Trojan War, as his model.
Finally, Cantor explores Alexander's view of himself in relation to
the pagan gods of Greece and Egypt. The result is a psychological
and cultural study of a great figure of the ancient world whose
often puzzling personality had so much to do with his career.
