Personally, my favorite Alexander book would have to be Peter Green's. Green created a colorful, rich book, which, as many have said before, is fairly easy to read. It tends to be disconnected (or at least I thought so) which allows the reader to make his or her own conclusions about the man. It's n...

We don't know for sure what he looked like and there are a lot more important things to focus in a performance than hair colour . I just couldn't understand the critics obsessing the Farrell's hair in the movie. Although, on a purely aesthetic level, I think Colin Farrell is a very attractive man w...

II saw that History Channel bio and thought the sideburns were a nice touch. There was a lot of that one that bothered me, though...sensationalizing aspects. Though that goes with the territory. Yes, I suppose the History Channel did glorify him with heroic details, but he does deserve some glory, ...

Roxane
While most of my history teachers have regarded Roxane (Alexander's wife) as a minor character in history, I couldn't help but wonder more about her. Could anyone provide me with more information on her life before Alexander? I'd also like to know what your opinion is on Alexander's reason for marry...

Of course some features would stay the same. We can all agree that Alexander wasn't the tallest Macedonian in the army. His skin, I would also say is fair and turned red often. His hair color is harder to picture. I always imagined him with brownish hair, probably because of the Alexander Mosiac - t...

Perhaps it's because I'm a newcomer, but would anyone agree with me if I said that one of the beautiful aspects of Alexander the Great is that no one is quite sure what he looked like? I mean, without a concrete image, everyone can have his or her own perception of this great man, and no one can rea...
