Alexander III was not merely a conqueror who shaped the course of history. He was the Macedonian king and leader of the Greeks who, with his vision, education, and courage, spread Greek culture from Pella to the farthest reaches of the East.
Through vivid narration and solid historical documentation, this book unfolds the thread of Alexander's Hellenicity. His descent was Greek. His language was Greek, and he always carried the Iliad with his teacher Aristotle's notes. He admired Achilles and believed he was the new Achilles and the redeemer-vengeance of all Greeks.
His education and gods were Greek. He established many Greek cities and declared Koine Greek as the language of his vast empire. His end was followed by the arrival of the Hellenistic period, which led to the spread of Greek culture. Wherever Alexander stepped, Hellenism took root.
The book "Alexander the Greek" is not only a historical account; it is a cry of memory and honor against distortion, a reminder that without roots, there is no future.
As external voices attempt to push into oblivion Alexander's Hellenicity and that of the ancient Macedonians, we must respond ever more loudly: Alexander the Macedonian, Alexander the Greek.
