An evenhanded reimagining of the Greek conqueror's life.

This book oers a fresh perspective on the reign of Alexander the Great. It re-examines Alexander's military victories and personality, while also exploring the impact of his campaigns on the people he conquered. Alexander's story, Stephen Harrison argues, is one that includes the vital roles that other gures played in historical events. By considering the social and intellectual currents of the last two decades, Harrison highlights how changing contemporary experiences shape historical interpretations. Moving beyond polarised debates about Alexander, he provides a nuanced discussion of Alexander's achievements and impact. The book presents an Alexander for the twenty-rst century, oering new insights into how and why historical interpretations of him have changed.
