Am currently working on a research about the image of Alexander and his use as symbol. Have found a lot of information, but during my research process I have found another point. There are some pages on internet, displaying Alexander as gay icon. I would like to know if there is any book (more or le...

I hope I can got my hands on this book- this means- they will send it to my country.

I too support further expanding in sub-forums. Especially interesting would be subforums about Diadochi and Hellenistic world...
