Alexander's Lovers

by Andrew Michael Chugg

A fascinating read for anyone with an interest in Alexander. Presents an exploration of his character through the mirror of the lives of the people with whom he pursued romantic relationships, including his friend Hephaistion, his queen Roxane, his mistress Barsine and Bagoas the eunuch. Contains many interesting and little-known facts such as Alexanders emulation of Achilles in his pursuit of divine honours and the truth behind the famous portrait by Aection. This book looks at the history of Alexander on a more personal level than most conventional histories. 213p, b/w illus (Andrew Michael Chugg 2006)
