Produktinformationen zu „Alexander the Great in His World (PDF)“
Alexander the Great is one of the most celebrated figures of
antiquity. In this book, Carol G. Thomas places this powerful
figure within the context of his time, place, culture, and ancestry
in order to discover what influences shaped his life and
career.
The book begins with an exploration of the Macedonia that
conditioned the lives of its inhabitants. It also traces such
influences on Alexander's life as his royal Argead ancestry,
his father, Philip II, and his mother, Olympias. The author
examines Alexander's engagement with Greek culture,
especially his relationship with Aristotle, and contemplates how
other societal factors - especially the highly militarized
Macedonian kingdom and the nature of Macedonia's relationship
with neighboring states - contributed to his
achievement.
What was the significance of these influences on the man who
succeeded in conquering most of the known world from the Adriatic
Sea to the Indus River? The author focuses on this question in
exploring ancient landscapes and resurrecting key figures from
antiquity in order to penetrate the motivation, goals, and inner
being of Alexander the Great.
