Even if Alexander’s rule in Asia has to be approached primarily through the study of Greek and Latin authors, many papers in this volume try to look beyond Arrian, Plutarch, Curtius, and Diodorus to Greek inscriptions, papyri, Egyptian, Babylonian, medieval Syriac and Arabic evidence. One focus is on Egypt, from the XXX dynasty to the Ptolemaic age. A lasting achievement of the early Macedonian age in Egypt is the lighthouse of Pharos, probably devised under Alexander to serve both as a watchtower of Alexandria and the focal point of the fire telegraph. Another focus of the volume is on Babylonia, with caveats against the over-enthusiastic usage of cuneiform sources for Alexander. This focus then moves further east, showing how much caution is necessary in studying the topography of Alexander’s campaigns in Baktria, the land often misrepresented by ancient and medieval authors. It also deals with representation and literary topoi, having in mind that Alexander was as much a historical as a literary figure. In many respects ancient Alexander historians handled his persona in strong connection with Herodotean topics, while the idealized portrait of Alexander translated, through court poetry, into the language of power of Ptolemy of Egypt. Alexander was adopted to cultural traditions of the East, both through the medium of the Alexander Romance and through his fictitious correspondence with Aristotle, sometimes becoming a figure of a (Muslim) mystic or a chosen (Jewish) king.

Die Geschichte der Argeaden, der Dynastie Alexanders des Großen, ist schillernd. Die makedonischen Herrscher führten zumeist einen zähen Überlebenskampf und mussten ihr diplomatisches Geschick beweisen. Das Argeadenhaus erlebte seinen ersten Aufstieg durch Protektion seitens der Perser und wurde schon lange vor Alexander auch kulturell persisch beeinflusst. Argeaden waren an den entscheidenden Ereignissen der Perserkriege und des Peloponnesischen Kriegs beteiligt. Im 4. Jh. v. Chr. stieg Makedonien zum Weltreich auf.Die griechische und römische Literatur schilderte die Makedonen jedoch als Lügner, Betrüger, Trunkenbolde und Tyrannen. Da keine literarischen makedonischen Quellen direkt überliefert sind, dominierten derartige Klischees und Zerrbilder bislang das Bild dieses Herrschergeschlechts.Sabine Müller stellt diese Stereotypen in Frage und zeichnet auf aktuellem Wissensstand ein neues Bild von Politik, Kultur und sozialen Verhältnissen im Argeadenreich. Es zeigt sich: Die Argeaden konnten durch geschickte Ausnutzung ihrer Handlungsspielräume ihre Interessen in der Innen- und Außenpolitik durchsetzen und so zu einem bestimmenden Faktor im Mächtekonzert des Mittelmeerraumes werden.

Über kaum eine andere Persönlichkeit haben antike Autoren mehr geschrieben als über Alexander den Großen ? wen wundert das angesichts seiner außerordentlichen Eroberungsfeldzüge und der Tatsache, dass nach seiner Herrschaft in der antiken Welt nichts mehr so war wie vorher? Trotzdem, oder vielleicht gerade deshalb bleiben die Biographie Alexanders und die Geschichte der Alexanderzeit legendenumrankt und schwer rekonstruierbar. Dieser Umstand ist in erster Linie auf die äußerst komplexe Überlieferungslage zurückzuführen, denn die einst zahlreichen Berichte von Zeitgenossen sind fast vollständig verloren und nur in den Werken späterer Autoren fassbar. Die vorliegende Übersetzung der Testimonien und Fragmente der Historiker der Alexanderzeit ist die erste Übertragung ins Deutsche.

Alexander conquered most parts of the Western World, but there is a great deal of controversy over his invasion of India, the least known of his campaigns. In BC 327 Alexander came to India, and tried to cross the Jhelum river for the invasion, but was then confronted by King Porus who ruled an area in what is now the Punjab. According to Indian history he was stopped by Porus at his entry into the country, but most of the world still believes that Alexander won the battle. Fearing the prospect of facing other large armies and exhausted by years of campaigning, Alexander's army mutinied at the Hyphasis River, refusing to march farther east. This river thus marks the easternmost extent of Alexander's conquests. Twelve papers in this volume examine aspects of Alexander?s Indian campaign, the relationship between him and his generals, the potential to use Indian sources, and evidence for the influence of policies of Alexander in neighbouring areas such as Iran and Russia
