Scholars have long recognized the relevance to Christianity of the many stories surrounding the life of Alexander the Great. This title delves into a wide range of primary texts to trace Alexander as a mythological figure, from his relationship to his ancestor and rival, Herakles, to the idea of his divinity as the son of a god.
