Everything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources,
which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than
everyday mortals. From his birth into a hypercompetitive world of
royal women through his training under the eyes and fists of stern
soldiers and the piercing intellect of Aristotle; through
friendships, rivalries, conquests and negotiations; through acts of
generosity and acts of murder, this book explains who Alexander
was, what motivated him, where he succeeded (in his own eyes) and
where he failed, and how he believed that he earned a new 'mixed'
nature combining the human and the divine. This book explains what
made Alexander 'Great' according to the people and expectations of
his time and place and rejects modern judgments asserted on the
basis of an implicit moral superiority to antiquity.
