Are there unknown aspects of the life of Alexander the Great? The surviving sources have left gaps in our knowledge about his life and his city, which were soon filled by popular fiction, and so Alexander walks a tightrope between historical reality and myth.
The authors of the book try to shed light on those pieces of their lives such as:
-The legends of his birth
-His relationships with Philip and Aristotle
-His premature death
-The mystery surrounding his tomb
-His strategy and battle techniques
-His exploratory work
-The cult that developed around his figure
-The legacy he left to his successors and to humanity
-The Pseudo-Callisthenes and "The Narrative of Alexander the Great"
-The legend of the Two-Horned
-His connection to the Ark of the Covenant
-Sirius and the Star of Vergina.
