Description
Alexander the Great's legend has evolved over time, with different cultures weaving their own stories around his life. From the Hebrew tradition to modern Greece, the figure of Alexander has been portrayed in various ways, yet all these disparate traditions share a common root in The Greek Alexander Romance. This influential work of late classical Greek literature has had a lasting impact on art and literature, with its stories of Alexander's adventures still visible in illuminated manuscripts and cathedral sculptures. The Greek Alexander Romance is a fast-paced and exuberant tale that has captivated readers for over seventy years. Penguin Classics, a leading publisher of classic literature, has made this work available in a new edition, bringing it to a new generation of readers. With its authoritative text, introduction, and notes, this edition provides a rich and engaging reading experience.
