I am about to strart making a podcast about Alexander
I want advice on the best biographiy of him, that's the most accuarte.
Any recommednations would be very appreceiated!
So I just finished The Young Alexander by Alex Rowson, and before that I had read Alexander at the End of the World by Rachel Kousser. Of the two I preferred Alexander at the End of the World, but I can get into that later if people are interested. I started with these books (the first books I've read about Alexander) since I already had a pretty good background in Alexander knowledge and wanted to dive into something more particular. I also liked that the books were both current and used recently archeological discoveries to back claims. What that in mind, what book should I read next?
Sarcophagus's intricate carvings depict scenes of Alexander's battles, hunts, and mythological narratives. Discovered in the Necropolis of Ayaa, Lebanon, now in the Istanbul Archaeology Museum. Clicked during my recent trips to Turkey.
Are there any novels about Thessalonike, Alexander the Great's sister?
I got this as a Christmas present. Its my favourite new thing. I think it's so cool 💕
My first game video, anyone else make these and want to collab?
I don't know what to do. They say he is overrated. A friend of mine said that Hannibal was greater. I thought about poisoning them but is this really the right course of action or do they deserve worse?
Alexander the GOAT
Hi, I know a bit about him but haven’t read a book or anything, just YouTube videos here and there, wanted to read about the history and philosophy of him. Recommendation would be appreciated (:
I'm looking for the most complete experience, but cinematographic finesse is also important. Thanks!
The cuirass and helmet of King Philip II of Macedon, father of Alexander the Great, is a notable example of ancient Macedonian armor, made of bronze and adorned with gold decorations.
Philip II was a key historical figure known for his military innovations and kingdom expansion. In 339 BC, he suffered a severe lance wound to his leg during a battle, which resulted in a permanent limp. Despite this injury, he continued to exert significant influence over his empire. His reign was cut short in 336 BC when he was assassinated by his bodyguard, Pausanias. This assassination, likely driven by political motives, marked a dramatic end to Philip’s impactful leadership and set the stage for Alexander’s legendary conquests.
When do you think we'll get another epic film based on Alexander?
