The Ambivalent Model: Alexander in the Greek World between Politics and Literature (1st Century bc / beg. 1st Century ad)

none1noThe paper explores the fortune of the figure of Alexander the Great in the Hellenistic World down to the First Century B.C. . Three issues are examined: 1) the popularity of Alexander in the greek poleis (included the cults attributed to him); 2) Alexander seen as ancestor or model for Graeco-Macedonian or Hell-enized dynasties; 3) Alexander in the Greek literary tradition (rhetorical and historiographical sources, often tied to each other), which sometimes tends to contrast with the official Roman view.mixedMuccioli FedericomariaMuccioli Federicomari
