Die Aufsätze des Bandes sind die überarbeiteten und zum Teil stark erweiterten Fassungen von Vorträgen, die im Dezember 2001 auf einem Internationalen Kolloquium in Bonn gehalten wurden. Sie behandeln Probleme, die sich mit der Geschichte jeder Weltepoche verbinden, an deren Anfang, Johann Gustav Droysen zufolge, der Name Alexander steht. Michael Zahrnt (Köln) fragt - Ist Samos 'eine Reise wert'? - und wartet mit einer Neuinterpretation des Verbanntendekrets (324 v. Chr.) auf. Gerhard Wirth (Bonn) arbeitet in seinem Beitrag "Der Epitaphios des Hypereides und das Ende einer Illusion" die kritische Potenz und resignative Tendenz des Epitaphs heraus. Vasile Lica (Galatzi) liefert unter dem Titel "Alexander der Große in Rumänien" eine knappe Geschichte der Alexanderrezeption in der rumänischen Literatur, Kunst und Historiographie vom Mittelalter bis in die Gegenwart. Guido Schepens (Leuven) begibt sich wieder in die hellenistische Zeit, rückt "Die Westgriechen in antiker und moderner Universalgeschichte" ins Blickfeld und widmet dem Sosylos-Fragment (FGrHist 1769) kritische Überlegungen. Gerhard Dobesch (Wien) legt in seinem Aufsatz "Caesar und der Hellenismus" dar, wie stark die Geisteswelt der späten Republik von griechischen Denkformen hellenistischer Tönung geprägt war. Die Lektüre des Bandes macht rasch klar, warum ihm der Obertitel DIORTHOSEIS gegeben wurde. Die darin versammelten Aufsätze 'berichtigen' in der Tat etliche Positionen der Forschung. Sie führen die Lebendigkeit der Altertumswissenschaft vor Augen und widerlegen das Vorurteil, in ihr ließen sich Neuansätze und -erkenntnisse nicht mehr gewinnen.

Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.) precipitated immense historical change in the Mediterranean and Near Eastern worlds. But the resonance his legend achieved over the next two millennia stretched even farther& across foreign cultures, religious traditions, and distant nations. This engaging and handsomely illustrated book for the first time gathers together hundreds of the colorful Alexander legends that have been told and retold around the globe. Richard Stoneman, a foremost expert on the Alexander myths, introduces us first to the historical Alexander and then to the Alexander of legend, an unparalleled mythic icon who came to represent the heroic ideal in cultures from Egypt to Iceland, from Britain to Malaya. Alexander came to embody the concerns of Hellenistic man; he fueled Roman ideas on tyranny and kingship; he was a talisman for fourth-century pagans and a hero of chivalry in the early Middle Ages. He appears in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic writings, frequently as a prophet of God. Whether battling winged foxes or meeting with the Amazons, descending to the underworld or inventing the world's first diving bell, Alexander inspired as a hero, even a god. Stoneman traces Alexander's influence in ancient literature and folklore and in later literatures of east and west. His book provides the definitive account of the legends of Alexander the Great& a powerful leader in life and an even more powerful figure in the history of literature and ideas.
