Unlike many other studies on Alexander, this volume focuses on both the ‘elite’ – Arrian, Plutarch, Curtius Rufus, Diodorus Siculus and the Greek Alexander Romance tradition – and ‘non-elite’ narratives, such as the histories and 'folk' tales found in the Asiatic traditions. Rather than attempting to yield a greater understanding of the historical figure of Alexander, this volume argues that the varied collections of narratives from across the world and throughout history hold up a mirror to their respective ages, and also to the social classes from which they are derived. By using Alexander as a prism, we can better understand the social, political and religious attitudes of subsequent historical periods.
