Since we’ve mentioned how different people see Alexander, would this be a good place to show a modern, cultural interpretation of how he looked? There is a series of “Persian” books for children which relate various stories from the Book of Kings, some of which focus on Alexander. In the Book of Kings the stories about Alexander are entirely fictionalized; however, the images of him in the children’s books are a delight; dark haired, blue-eyed, with a jaw the likes of which I haven’t seen since Dudley Do-right! And just look at those brows!
I bought all eight books that feature Alexander and (possibly) a son as well - even though I can’t read a word of the text there are full illustrations on every page - but I’ll post only two or three of the covers here. The third is my absolute favorite, by the way, and could be used to illustrate historical events if one so desired. Ignore the grey hair and picture it as the deceased Darius being laid out in state, with Alexander, omnipresent and far-seeing, literally
looming over the kingdom of Persia! I tried to reduce it to the size of an Avatar but it didn’t work out.

) Now it may be that Alexander was such a handsome devil that an accurate bust of him would look stylized. But the existence of the Pergamon bust suggests otherwise.
The seller is an Iranian living in America who also has a website selling posters, artwork, brass pots with designs from Persepolis, etc., although the items he and his wife put up on Ebay can generally be bought for less. I'd post the url but I believe it's frowned upon to promote commercial sites on Pothos. (Isn't it?) Anyone can send me a PM for the info though.
