What to read next?

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?

Alexander Sarcophagus

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.

Recreating the famous mosaic from king Darius’ view. I’d like to create as raw of an image of Alexander as I can, any information about his depiction would be helpful.

My Family doesn't think Alexander was the GOAT

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?

Which version of the 2004 movie is better: 2007 Revisited Final cut or 2014 The Ultimate Cut?

I'm looking for the most complete experience, but cinematographic finesse is also important. Thanks!

The armor of King Philip II

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.
