The Genius of Alexander the Great. - HAMMOND, N.G.L.,
KORTE INHOUD
'Written for the general reader, this book is a distillation of Hammond's prior scholarship on Macedonia and Alexander.1 Both professional and lay audiences remain fascinated by Alexander the Great. Books and articles appear at a dizzy pace, and exhibitions, even of small scope, draw a public eager to understand the magnitude of his conquests and accomplishments. Hammond's approach to his subject is that of the influence of great men on the course of history. It is an approach that has generally fallen out of intellectual currency whereas a contextual approach is more accepted. An underlying assumption in this account is that by reason and deduction one may arrive at the 'truth' about Alexander.' (JANET BURNETT GROSSMANN in Bryn Mawr Classical Review 97.11.17).
