Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Prince a Romance of the Camp and Court of Alexander the Great, the Love Story of Roxana, the Maid of Bactria Of Philip's invincible troops there was no hint save as some heavily armed soldier paced his rounds before the closed gates or on the city's protecting walls. For the King and his army were away, intent upon a final trial of strength on the plains of Cheronea, between Macedonia and the combined armies of Athens and Thebes. But of the result of the struggle no word had yet reached the wait ing city and its impatient Queen, or the wives and sweethearts of those who had gone forth to battle for their country; and thus it had been for days and weeks wherein those left behind scarce spoke above a whisper, so great was their distress.

Download or read book The Alexander Romance in Persia and the East written by Richard Stoneman and published by Barkhuis. This book was released on 2012 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alexander the Great of Macedon was no stranger to controversy in his own time. Conqueror of the Greek states, of Egypt and of the Persian Empire as well as many of the principalities of the Indus Valley, he nevertheless became revered as well as vilified. Was he simply a destroyer of the ancient civilizations and religions of these regions, or was he a hero of the Persian dynasties and of Islam? The conflicting views that were taken of him in the Middle East in his own time and the centuries that followed are still reflected in the tensions that exist between east and west today. The story of Alexander became the subject of legend in the medieval west, but was perhaps even more pervasive in the east. The Alexander Romance was translated into Syriac in the sixth century and may have become current in Persia as early as the third century AD. From these beginnings it reached into the Persian national epic, the Shahnameh, into Jewish traditions, and into the Quran and subsequent Arab romance. The papers in this volume all have the aim of deepening our understanding of this complex development. If we can understand better why Alexander is such an important figure in both east and west, we shall be a little closer to understanding what unites two often antipathetic worlds. This volume collects the papers delivered at the conference of the same title held at the University of Exeter from July 26-29 2010. More than half the papers were by invited speakers and were designed to provide a systematic view of the subject; the remainder were selected for their ability to carry research forward in an integrated way.

Download or read book The Romance of Alexander and Roxana written by Marshall Monroe Kirkman and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2003-05 with total page 440 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story of love and adventure follows the career of Alexander the Great. The romance was suggested by studies of the times of Philip of Macedon and Alexander, and it was because of the interest it excited, and not a desire to write an historical romance, that they had their origin. The novel is followed by a chapter giving an historical account of the life and deeds of the heroic prince during the period covered by the love story. The romantic love of Alexander for Roxana has interested mankind for two thousand years, and will continue to interest it as long as the world lasts. Scarcely less interesting are the picturesque events connected with the tragic lives of Darius, the Persian king, and his beautiful Queen, Statira, of which this story has much to say. The romance deals with the lives of many exalted men and women, not because they are exalted or of historical interest, but that they form a part of the love story. The romantic nature of Alexander's life and conquests makes his history in itself as interesting as the most absorbing novel.

Download or read book The Greek Alexander Romance written by Richard Stoneman and published by Penguin UK. This book was released on 1991-04-25 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mystery surrounds the parentage of Alexander, the prince born to Queen Olympias. Is his father Philip, King of Macedonia, or Nectanebo, the mysterious sorcerer who seduced the queen by trickery? One thing is certain: the boy is destined to conquer the known world. He grows up to fulfil this prophecy, building a mighty empire that spans from Greece and Italy to Africa and Asia. Begun soon after the real Alexander's death and expanded in the centuries that followed, The Greek Alexander Myth depicts the life and adventures of one of history's greatest heroes - taming the horse Bucephalus, meeting the Amazons and his quest to defeat the King of Persia. Including such elements of fantasy as Alexander's ascent to heaven borne by eagles, this literary masterpiece brilliantly evokes a lost age of heroism.
