Alexander the Great (356–323 BC) is one of those rare historical figures
who has fascinated a legion of writers and artists in both the past and
the present. In this course we will analyze how Alexander’s mythical
figure has fascinated and been used in different periods of history.
Opinions about him have been as varied as those who have told his story,
which has been told and retold in written and oral narratives, visual
presentations, paintings, sculptures, and, of course, in more recent
times, comics, songs and movies.
