Abstract:
Abstract: The Indian war conducted by Alexander iii of Macedon (327–325 b.c.e.) demonstrated the efficacy of Iranian-Macedonian cooperation. Such cooperation was the foundation of Alexander's policies from 330 to 323 b.c.e.; given this, the references to Iranian traditions in the coin imagery are not surprising. The India-related tetradrachms offer insight into Alexander's conception of his own kingship and into his imperial policy. Abstract: La guerre indienne menée par Alexandre iii de Macédoine (327–325 a. C.) a démontré l'efficacité de la coopération irano-macédonienne. Cette coopération était à la base des politiques d'Alexandre entre 330 et 323 a. C. ; par conséquent, les références aux traditions iraniennes dans l'imagerie des pièces de monnaie ne sont pas surprenantes. Les tétradrachmes liées à l'Inde nous donnent un aperçu de la façon dont Alexandre concevait son propre statut de roi et de sa politique impériale.

Abstract:
Alexander the Great, one of the greatest rulers the world has ever seen, in his conquests, among other things, reached Egypt. The focus of this paper is on the influence that Egypt had on Alexander the Great and the influence that Alexander had on Egypt. Particular attention was paid to the writings of various historical sources about Alexander’s stay in Egypt. The Egyptian aspect of Alexander’s life is very important. This country influenced Alexander to get lost in his desires. One of the big questions the paper deals with is whether Alexander really believed that he was the son of the god Amon / Zeus. For the Egyptians, Alexander was the savior. For Alexander, Egypt was a picture of what he wanted to be, and what kind of relationship he wanted to have with people. For a man who did not lose battles, a man who crossed a great path to worship Amon, a man who came to the land he conquered and received treatment, not like a conqueror but a liberator it may not have been hard to believe that he was something more than a ruler himself. For Egypt, the new ruler was not cruel to them. He was their friend. So they accepted him and accepted those who came after him as their own. Alexandria in Egypt, what is considered one of the greatest achievements of Alexander’s conquests, was something new – the center of Hellenistic culture, far from Hellas. In addition to the topics mentioned in the paper, attention is paid to Alexander’s legacy in Egypt and his body in Alexandria as well. The aim of the paper is to review Alexander’s stay in Egypt. A good part of the work is seen through the prism of Alexander’s stay in the temple of the god Amon. The reason for this is the influence that “conversation with Amon” had on this great ruler, but also the fact that through the journey to the temple, Alexander wanted to show the Egyptians what kind of ruler he would be.

Abstract:
Alexander's empire had a great influence on the later history of Europe. Therefore, this paper hopes to study the culture and policies of other countries in the most glorious period of Alexander's empire, the period of Alexander the Great, to determine whether it really had such a big impact. Alexander the Great exported Macedonian culture including but not limited to architecture, transportation, military ideas, philosophy, and literature. At the same time, he promoted the exchange and integration of various ethnic cultures during his reign. Therefore, we can judge that Alexander's empire had a great influence on the whole of Asia and Europe in every important area of culture, policy and economy. This paper allows the reader to get a clearer picture of where and to what extent Alexander's influence mainly existed.

Abstract:
AbstractAlexander the Great is often understood to be the first statesman to attempt a “universal state,” owing in large part to his philosophical education under Aristotle. This picture of Alexander informs many of his depictions in popular culture, and influences his appropriation in contemporary discourse on globalization. I argue here that Plutarch's Life of Alexander offers an alternative view of Alexander's political action, one that explains his imperial ambitions by focusing on his love of honor (philotimia) and the cultural indeterminacy of his native Macedon, rather than his exposure to philosophy. Plutarch's portrayal of Alexander provides a useful model for the study of globalization by showing how political expansion can arise from and give rise to indeterminate political identities.

Abstract:
Abstract Alexander the Great, the world conqueror who brought the Achaemenid dynasty to its knees, has attracted the attention of many Iranian poets and writers. There are numerous poetic and prose works entitled Iskandarnāma (Treatise on Alexander). Ferdowsi’s Shāhnāma and Niẓāmī’s Iskandarnāma are among the most well-known poems narrating Alexander’s life. In addition, several films have been made about Alexander’s life in the West, the most famous of which are Alexander (2004) by Oliver Stone and Alexander the Great (1956) by Robert Rossen. The present descriptive study identifies different dimensions of Alexander’s character in Shāhnāma and Iskandarnāma and compares them with those portrayed in the above-said films. The results show that Alexander’s complex character is composed of four distinct dimensions. Alexander is sometimes an ordinary human being entangled with fear, prone to misjudgment, and an avid lover of love and elaborate festivities. He is an envoy and a warrior. He is also compassionate, generous, resourceful, and politically quite apt. Finally, he has at times the qualities of a prophet and is pious to no end. The films didn’t behoove Alexander’s mysticism or benevolence and focused most tersely on his pillage, murder, and plunder. The literary Alexander of Iran represents a far more dramatic persona than does the film adaptation.

The history of Alexander the Great was from his time on a very popular medium for facts and also common known fictions, what let Alexanders deeds become very longing for other rulers, like Louis XIV. He hired Charles le Brun to paint a representative passage of Alexanders history, what he liquidated through the lecture of Cutius Rufus’ historia Alexandri Magni. This paper is about the transformation of ancient sources with their intentions into 17th century France.

Abstract:
Alone among the French romances of Alexander the Great penned in the twelfth century, Thomas de Kent’s Roman de toute chevalerie reproduces the story of Alexander’s illegitimate birth from the principal Latin source. According to this account, Alexander’s father was Nectanabus, a mage and astrologer who seduced Queen Olympias with an astronomy lesson, deceived her by using animal pelts to disguise himself as a god, and then used his magic arts to retard the child’s birth when his astrological calculations indicated the child would be born a hybrid man-beast. Thomas wrote his romance at the very moment when both astrology and paradoxography (the writing of marvels) were being reevaluated as means of understanding the world, and so Alexander’s odd birth offers a reflection — shaped by the romance genre — on the limitations and ethical implications of medieval natural science.

Taietti, G. D. "The Greek reception of Alexander the Great." Thesis, University of Liverpool, 2017. http://livrepository.liverpool.ac.uk/3007776/.

Full text
Abstract:
The present thesis explores how the personality, image, and deeds of Alexander the Great have been interpreted, reshaped, and exploited by the Greeks from Antiquity to the Modern era. The main focus is the understanding of the metamorphosis of the historical persona of Alexander into a god-like mythological figure and a Hellenic national hero, researching the origins of the Alexander-myth and how it operates in response to different historico-political, social and cultural stimuli for the Greeks. The thesis is structured in two sections: first, the modern, and secondly, the ancient, which, while displaying its variety, also highlight the overall organic nature of the ongoing Greek Alexander-Reception. The first section offers an introduction to the peculiarities of the Modern myth-making of Alexander (chapter one); it explores the reshaping of the Macedonian hero in Hellenic folk production, such as tales, myths, traditions, spells and songs (chapter two), and in Theodore Angelopoulos’ debated film Megalexandros (chapter three). The second section discusses the Ancient myth-making of Alexander and its relevance in the twenty-century Greek cultural and political milieu (chapter four); specifically, it focuses on the reshaping and interpretation of the king of Macedon by Ptolemy I (chapter five) and by Julian the Apostate and his entourage (chapter six). This section concludes with a study on the early representations of Alexander, which shows how his contemporary historians borrowed from Herodotus narrative tropes and descriptions of the Achaemenids to explain the Macedonian campaign against Persia, making him a Herototean-like Persian king and creating a fictional character that, to a certain extent, dates back before the historical persona. The case-studies jointly argue that Alexander is a historiographical mirage constantly reinvented by the Greeks, who ascribe to him new deeds, legends, and characteristics according to their historical and cultural needs. The Macedonian hero moves forward into the next period charged with all the previous meanings, which he will deliver to his new audience. In this way, Alexander is both the recipient and the bearer of the Greeks’ cultural identity.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
This work focuses on the manner in which Alexander the Great is received and reconfigured within the confines of the contemporary English-language novel. The Macedonian king has held the attention of writers and artists throughout the centuries; this dissertation seeks to investigate how modern authors, working at a remove of centuries, with limited evidence, have contrived to fashion coherent literary narratives from his life, and how this process is influenced by the authors and the society for which they write. The theoretical backbone of this approach is provided by reception theory, which provides a useful technical vocabulary and outlook by which to approach the phenomena which affect the comprehension of, and subsequent re-appropriation, of cultural artifacts.

Abstract:
The aim of the present study is to examine how the legacy of Alexander was appropriated, altered and used in arguments in early Christian discourse (c. 200-600). There is an inventory of all the early Christian references to Alexander in Appendix 1. The structure of the thesis is conceived as an unequal triptych: it is divided into three parts with subdivisions into three chapters of varying lengths (Part III contains two chapters and the thesis conclusion). Each part is prefaced with a short description of its contents. Each chapter within those parts have a preliminary remark to introduce the principal subject area with a brief conclusion in the back of it. Part I explores the Alexander traditions of three geographical centres of the Christian world: Alexandria (Ch. 1), Jerusalem (Ch. 2) and Rome (Ch. 3). It shows how the Jewish tales from these cities, such as the Josephan tale about Alexander’s visit to Jerusalem, were used in a variety of diverging, often contradictory, ways. Part II turns to the writings of the apologists in the second and third centuries. It discusses three prevalent themes associated with Alexander: historiography (Ch. 4), divine honours (Ch. 5) and Greek philosophy (Ch. 6). Part III moves on to the central texts and Alexander themes in the fourth to sixth centuries. It focuses on his role in Christian chronicles, church histories and representations of their world (Ch. 7), and also the rhetorical use of the figure in Christian preaching and public speaking (Ch. 8). Taken together, these three parts form the overarching argument that Alexander did not only fill many diverse roles in Christian representations of the remote past, but also featured in contemporary discourse on Christian culture, identities and societies, as well as in arguments made on behalf of the Christian religion itself. Indeed, the Christians frequently juxtapose the figure with distinctively Christian features, such as the life of Jesus, the Apostles, the church, sacred cities and holy spaces. They incorporate him into discourses on peace, mercy, generosity and abstinence. In other words, they repeatedly made Alexander relevant for what they considered important and, thus, created their own distinct discourse on the figure.

Abstract:
The profound relationship between Alexander the Great and British political discourse has been documented in the nineteenth century (for example, Vasunia 2007 and Hagerman 2009). Yet, beyond articles covering the historiography of the Scottish Enlightenment (Briant 2005) or case studies of his particularly negative repute in post-Restoration literature (Brauer 1980 and Wild 2004), little research has been conducted into the eighteenth-century Alexander. Focussing on the period between the Restoration and the Napoleonic Wars, this thesis explores how Alexander was used in discourse on martial achievement, heroic virtue, conquest and empire in British political thought. Concomitantly, it will discuss how various discourses, writers and imitators effected the conception of Alexander. The first chapter introduces a range of political appropriations of Alexander that emerged during the Restoration. The second chapter focuses on the discourse on civic virtue in English writing from the 1690s to the 1760s, to understand why Alexander’s character and achievements were criticised. The third chapter assess the deployment of Alexander in historical writing as a vexed and protean model for thinking through the ideologies of empire, from the 1690s until the 1790s. The fourth chapter investigates the British reaction to Napoleon Bonaparte, and particularly his invasion of Egypt. A final concluding chapter provides some reflections on the repute of Alexander in the nineteenth century. The evidence used in this thesis includes acts of Alexander imitatio by British and non-British figures, a range of different types of comparatio in drama and poetry, and works of history.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis examines Alexander�s conception of kingship, his relationship with royal traditions in the three great kingdoms of the Near East, and the concomitant transformation of the king�s court by which Alexander created a distinctive royal insignia and introduced new court personnel and protocol. Section I ("Alexander and Near Eastern Kingship") contains Chapters I, II, and III. Section II ("The Transformation") comprises Chapters IV to VI. In Chapter I, I examine the Macedonian background of Alexander�s court and his native conception of kingship. Chapter II is a study of the kingship of Egypt. Chapter III deals with the kingship of Babylon and Persia. I then turn to an analysis of Alexander�s policies towards the Persians and the concept of the "kingship of Asia," as this was understood by Alexander. This crucial concept is to be distinguished from the kingship of Persia, a position which Alexander supplanted and replaced with his personal kingship of Asia. In Section II, three chapters are devoted to an analysis of the transformation of Alexander�s court. Chapter IV covers the origin and significance of Alexander�s royal insignia. Chapter V examines the introduction of, and the role played by, Persians and easterners in the king�s court; and Chapter VI the significance of other Persian court offices.

Abstract:
This chapter examines how Renaissance scholars and artists were taken with Alexander, and were not altogether dependent on the Romances. For instance, the thirteenth-century Catholic saint Albertus Magnus somehow knew of Alexander's discovery of the caladrius, a white bird that could foretell the future and whether the sick would survive. In the mid-fifteenth century, the Portuguese Vasco da Lucena translated Quintus Curtius' Deeds of Alexander. Moreover, the Renaissance artists had behind them a rich tradition of mediaeval illustration of Alexander, but they had their own preferences, for artistic or sometimes political purposes, and some episodes proved to be especially favoured. These include attempts to depict whole stories as a sequence of scenes as well as in the well-known episodes.

Abstract:
On the basis of comparative analysis of publications devoted to Alexander S. Griboyedov in the late 1920s-1930s and materials about him that appeared during the Great Patriotic War, the evolution of attitude to the playwright is revealed. During the peace period Griboyedov was of interest to the authors of articles in periodicals primarily as a playwright, materials characterising the peculiarities of staging the comedy “Woe from Wit” in different historical periods were published. During the war years the accents change significantly - the primary attention is paid to the patriotic, civil position of Griboyedov, characterised by his service to the Fatherland. Griboyedov's name appears not only among the most famous Russian authors, but also among war writers. At the same time the interest to Griboyedov's literary heritage is preserved - information about the staging of his works appears in the press. Although the preparation for the playwright's anniversary began only at the end of 1944, this date was marked by a significant number of articles, reprinting of Griboyedov's works, the publication of biographical and other works.

Abstract:
The article reveals the historical prototype of Lieutenant Alexander Nikitich Brusentsov, one of the heroes of the film “Two Comrades Served” (1968), played by Vladimir Vysotsky, is featured in the memoirs of the former military prosecutor of the Don Corps of the Russian Army Colonel Ivan Kalinin “Under the banner of Wrangel” (1925) by his adjutant Lieutenant Nikolai Brusentsov, whose character traits coincide with the character traits of the hero of Vladimir Vysotsky. Unlike the hero of the film, the real Wrangel’s lieutenant Brusentsov was not an artilleryman, but a lawyer. But director Evgeny Karelov and screenwriters Yuliy Dunsky and Valery Frid needed a combat white officer - a worthy opponent to the red heroes of the film. Fried's testimony is also being examined that the prototype of Lieutenant Brusentsov was Red Army Lieutenant Alexander Nikitich Brusentsov, who was met by his friend and co-author Dunsky in the labor camp. As it turned out, among the participants of the Great Patriotic War there was indeed Lieutenant Alexander Nikitich Brusentsov, who, most likely, was the lieutenant Brusentsov, mentioned by Fried. Thus, we are faced with a rather rare case when two prototypes who belong to different historical eras and have no family ties, have the same and relatively rare surname.
