Revamped: Alexander the Great on the Web

[ancientlibrary]

I thought I'd put notice up that "Alexander the
Great on the Web" has been totally revamped
and updated. I still contains some 1,000 links
about Alexander (833-1173 depending on how
you count), but 50% are new. I hope everyone
will find material they didn't know about. For
convenience, the "New Additions" section is
broken down into categories and
subcategories, so old hands might want to start
there.This url probably won't work, but here goes:http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/Alexanderama.
htmlI've focused things a bit. Macedonia and Persia
are casualties, but Alexander's death and tomb
get their own sections. There are three sections
of information and translations of the primary
sources. The movies and documentaries
sections are much improved. There's a "new
books" section, with reviews, excerpts and
what-not on Cartledge, Pressfield, Doherty and
others.Needles to say, the Alexander web would be
much poorer without Pothos. The site and its
articles are all over the place. Jeanne
Reames-Zimmerman sexuality article heads up
the "Was he gay?" section. Nick's "Internet
Alexander Myths and Trivia" looms over "Was he
a left-handed epileptic cat-hater?" I haven't
dipped as deeply into forum posts, so if anyone
has any favorites I'd love to hear of them. More generally, I appreciate all comments,
corrections and additions you guys might have.
(And I apologize in advance if my descriptions
cause any offense.) I'll be working on it as the
movie mania gathers steam, and releasing a
total revamping of the "Alexander in Images" site
as well.Thanks to all and best wishes for a good movie!Tim Spalding

letting me into the New York premiere (alas), but
to a Boston press screening. (Date still in the
air.) There's also no truth to the rumors about
me and Angelina. We're just good friends.

Hello TimI visited your site just the other day and noticed that things were different. I was looking for some illustrations that you once had links to, but there seemed to be some (quite a few?) missing. Was that intentional or are some of the less known ones no longer accessible?Anyway, it's still a good site and well-worth a visit. Cheers

Yes, there were some text links to images on
the old site. These have been removed, and a
new "tumbnails" version (the "Images of
Alexander") site release. Sorry for the
inconvenience and best, Tim

Sorry, English problems tonight. Let's try simple
grammar: they'll be up again soon!

S.Ptolomaios:Tabula decima et Ultima Europae(Alexandria)
Narodna i univerzitetska biblioteka "Kliment Ohridski", Skopje This map shows ancient Macedonia, divided into named regions and showing the mountains, rivers and towns. It was taken as the foundation for great number of maps, especially historical ones. It was printed in Bologna in 1477. This is the first map ever printed and the science of cartography takes 1477 as the year marking the beginning of map printing.
Best compilation of old maps on Macedonia is on this web:

Thanks for the link. I am entirely convinced by
your persuasive arguments, and will be
rearranging my site accordingly.
