Download or read book Alexander the Great written by Richard Stoneman and published by Yale University Press. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.) precipitated immense historical change in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds. But the resonance his legend achieved over the next two millennia stretched even farther across foreign cultures, religious traditions, and distant nations. This engaging and handsomely illustrated book for the first time gathers together hundreds of the colorful Alexander legends that have been told and retold around the globe. Richard Stoneman, a foremost expert on the Alexander myths, introduces us first to the historical Alexander and then to the Alexander of legend, an unparalleled mythic icon who came to represent the heroic ideal in cultures from Egypt to Iceland, from Britain to Malaya. Alexander came to embody the concerns of Hellenistic man; he fueled Roman ideas on tyranny and kingship; he was a talisman for fourth-century pagans and a hero of chivalry in the early Middle Ages. He appears in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic writings, frequently as a prophet of God. Whether battling winged foxes or meeting with the Amazons, descending to the underworld or inventing the world s first diving bell, Alexander inspired as a hero, even a god. Stoneman traces Alexander s influence in ancient literature and folklore and in later literatures of east and west. His book provides the definitive account of the legends of Alexander the Great a powerful leader in life and an even more powerful figure in the history of literature and ideas."

Download or read book West Meets East written by Suzanne Strauss Art and published by . This book was released on 1996-04 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great was one of the most brilliant and charismatic heroes of the ancient world. He likened himself to Achilles, the legendary warrior of Homeric tradition, and he loved to quote passages about him from The Iliad. As he traveled from Greece across Asia and parts of Africa on his military campaigns, he took every opportunity to study the local flora and fauna as well as to understand the customs of the people. Often he sent specimens of plants back to his teacher and mentor, Aristotle. West Meets East traces Alexander's journey to such exotic places as Babylon, Memphis (Egypt), Persepolis, and the Punjab, honing in upon the differences and similarities between Western (Greek) culture and those of the East. It explores such religions as Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and it contrasts the autocratic regimes of the Persians and Egyptians to the democratic principles of the Greeks. The famous battles are fully described, demonstrating how Alexander's masterful strategic planning and lightning-fast reflexes made him an invincible conqueror. He was a remarkable leader who never lost a battle. A major element of his success was his relationship with his men. This book explores how his embracing of certain eastern traditions negatively affected this relationship and hobbled his military ambitions. The story of Alexander is filled with colorful characters, mythical and historical - Philip II of Macedon, Aristotle, Parmenio, Kings Cyrus and Darius of Persia, Achilles, Roxanne (Alexander's great love), and many more - and they are brought to life in this lively narrative. Upon his death at the age of 32, Alexander's vast empire covered more than 2 million square miles, stretching from Greece to India and across Egypt. He had founded 18 new cities and promoted a blending of eastern and western cultures and laid the groundwork for the Hellenistic Age. West Meets East can serve as the basis for a study unit. It can also be used in conjunction with The Story of Ancient Greece, providing a comprehensive sequel to ancient Greek civilization at its height and an enlightening link to the Hellenistic period.
