Alexander the Great: Then and Now

He lived hard and died young before James Dean made it famous. Few men had as great an impact both in life and in death. On three continents, Alexander of Macedon founded cities bearing his name and considered himself divine. World conqueror, genius, visionary, despot, maniac, alcoholic, and criminal, Alexander's reputation is as complicated now as was his life. Subject of recent movies, documentaries, and novels, Alexander remains a popular topic in all media. This presentation examines the life and legacy of Alexander, even as the United States and NATO fight wars today where once his armies fought.
