Alexander III of Macedonia, the Great, conqueror of Persia, 356-323, sometimes called Alejandro Bicorne, Alejandro Magno, Iskandar

Fishburn and Hughes: "the son of Philip II of Macedon, from whom he inherited his military genius, and of Olympias, an Epirote princess, from whom he inherited his mysticism and impetuosity. His tutor was Aristotle. One of history's greatest generals, Alexander conquered most of the civilised world and was responsible for the hellenisation of the non-Greek world as far as India. Death and the Compass: It is difficult to trace with certainty the allusion to 'the crystal sphere which the Persians attributed to Alexander'. After his death, Alexander's fame was enhanced by a collection of fantastic medieval legends known as the Romance of Alexander. In one version, L'Histoire du noble et vaillant Alexandre Ie Grand (1569), there is the following passage: 'Having reached the ends of the earth and conquered all the nations, Alexander aspired to the dominion of the air. For this he obtained a magic glass cage [our italics] which enabled him to fly through the clouds and, with the help of an enchantress who knew the language of birds, achieved their submission.' But the allusion is probably to the universal mirror said to have been fashioned by Alexander (Iskander) in the Persian version of the legend. A Biography of Tadeo Isidoro Cruz (1829-1874): Throughout his life Alexander had a passion for Homer. According to Plutarch, on campaign he always slept with his sword and the Iliad under his pillow." (6-7)
