Today I've finally published my new web biography of Alexander, and
my kudoes to Pothos for the resources ya'll present are shown under
Bibliography and Links. This is a tremendous resource, and I just
wanted to thank you for all the resources you offer the student of
Alexander.

Many thanks for all your help!

Congratulations, Suzanne, this is an excellent website for Alexanderphiles. You have a very beautiful website. I used the functions at the top, chapters, and timeline, and found them in full operation. Just to let you know that I fully appreciate your devotion to your subject.

Re: A Thanks to Pothos GOOD JOB

LOL - so glad no one has thrown me out of the group yet! Writing about Alexander, especially for one who's field has always been Republican Rome - well I was really nervous to get ya'll's reaction. I feel a bit less nervous now ;)BTW, one of you wrote me saying it was hard to find my email: it's heraklia@comcast.net.Thank you!!

Yes, it is a beautiful site, Suzanne. I havenGÇÖt had time yet to thoroughly peruse all the content, but IGÇÖve added it to my book-marked websites. May I ask this GÇô if your field has always been Republican Rome, what is it that made you decide to build a website on Alexander? :-) Best regards, Amyntoros

Roman I may be, but my first site was on Julius Caesar (http://
heraklia.fws1.com). I'd always wondered about a man who could
make Caesar weep, but it wasn't (I hope this doesn't destroy all my
credibility instantly) until I saw Stone's movie that Alexander went
from a marble statue to a man, for me. I started reading about him
and - flash! - 16 months of my life ;)Glad you like the site, thank you!Heraklia

'To travel in imagination to Alexander's world, you must forget everything you have been taught about Judeo-Christianity; Jesus would not be born for 300 years. Forget modern conceptions of tyrants and dictators - Hitler or Stalin have no place or context in Alexander's story'.
Like Hitler's attacks on Britain in WWII, the efforts of the Persians served to unite the Greeks as nothing before (or afterwards) could do. Athens suffered the sickening destruction of the city by Xerxes' troops and the burning of the sacred temples
hmmm!
Pretty site anyway :)
