Alexander the Great: The Hunt for New Past by Hardcover Book (E
Paul Cartledge’s Alexander the Great: The Hunt for New Past reconstructs the Macedonian conqueror beyond myth, insisting that the true Alexander emerges when antiquity’s sources are weighed with scholarly restraint. He threads the young king’s audacity, strategic genius, and political acumen into a coherent portrait that avoids crusading hero-worship and cautionary caution. The narrative situates Alexander within the late Classical world, showing how his campaigns altered the Mediterranean’s cultural and political map as much as its geography. Cartledge emphasizes the interplay between Alexander’s personal charisma and the institutional structures of his empire, including the fusion of Greek and non-Greek elements in his wake. The book trades rumor and legend for documentary fragility, yet it remains deeply attuned to the experiential texture of ancient warfare, court life, and travel. It probes the paradox of a figure whose short life produced an enduring, almost planetary, impact on world history. The result is a lucid, balanced biographical study that casts light on both Alexander’s strategic brilliance and the contingencies that shaped his fate. In doing so, Cartledge contributes to a long-standing scholarly conversation while inviting readers to reconsider the mythic frame surrounding one of antiquity’s most enduring icons.

368 p., w/ maps and images. Original hardcover with dust jacket. From the library of Prof. Wolfgang Haase, long-time editor of ANRW and the International Journal of the Classical Tradition (IJCT). - Soiled dust jacket and lightly scuffed binding. Otherwise in very good condition. - Content: There is really no need for any special justification, let alone apology, for a new history of Alexander. He is one of those very few genuinely iconic figures, who have both remade the world they knew and constantly inspire us to remake our own worlds, both personal and more global. What is needed, then, and I have aimed to provide, is a book that does full justice to Alexander’s extraordinary achievement, while at the same time respecting the limits of the evidence and of the historian’s craft. I have attempted to address that achievement both in its own terms (including some tentative probing into Alexander’s deep psyche) and in terms of its subsequent impact - which continues to this day, when Alexander is still prayed in aid by fishermen in Greece, cursed as a ‘thief’ in Iran, and worshipped as a saint in the Coptic Church of Egypt. It must also be a book with a distinctive interpretative approach, and mine is indicated in the book’s subtitle: ‘The Hunt for a New Past’. There are of course several possible keys to unlocking the enigma that was Alexander. Some modern historians, for example, have focused on the Greek word pothos, passionate yearning, which is associated in the sources with major projects of Alexander. Others have privileged Alexander’s relationship with his father, Philip. One modern historian has tried to explain vital features of his career in terms of his alcohol dependency. My book will not minimize the influence of these factors on Alexander’s outlook, personality and aims. But it will lay even more stress on his predilection, or rather grand passion, for hunting game: human as well as animal, and the bigger, more numerous and more dangerous the better. For that offered him a greater chance for enhancing his standing and his fame. One of the very earliest probable images of Alexander (p. 93) is painted in a fresco above the front entrance to what most of us refer to conventionally as ‘the Tomb of Philip’ (whether or not we actually believe it to be the tomb of Alexander’s father, as I on the whole do). This monumental edifice was erected at the ancient Macedonian ceremonial capital of Aegae (modern Vergina) at some point in the last third or so of the fourth century BCE. The fresco depicts a series of hunting scenes, so that, if it does indeed feature Alexander centrally, it shows him engaged in what we know to have been one of his favourite pastimes. Except that ‘pastime’ may give a misleading impression, since hunting in Macedon -as in some other ancient societies, such as Sparta - was a culturally coded marker of social and political status and prestige. In Macedon, you did not become fully a man until you had passed the key manhood test of hunting and killing, without a net, one of the ferocious wild boar that roamed the heights of Upper (western) Macedonia. Only then could you recline - as opposed to sit - when participating in the daily ritual of the symposium: the evening drinking party, at which and through which the Macedonian elite celebrated together and mutually confirmed their elevated social and political status. Another kind of hunting - the killing of an enemy in battle - entitled a Macedonian to wear a special belt, as a visual signal and reminder of his attainment and prestige. After the two introductory chapters I have aimed to combine sequential chronological narration with in-depth systematic surveys of a number of key themes of Alexander’s career. A detailed Timeline right at the start of the book is intended to help convey the flow of events. All dates are BCE (Before the Common Era), unless otherwise specified. The concluding chapter explores Alexander’s multiple legacies, from antiquity through the Middle Ages to the present day. An Appendix explores the limits set by the available source materials to any attempted reconstruction of how it actually was in Alexander’s day. The conclusions reached here condition and inform everything I write in the main body of the book, which ideally should be read in that light. The Appendix also explores in greater detail than usual two vital questions: first, how precisely did Callisthenes, Alexander’s official histo-rial, die in 327? And, second, what did really happen at the oracle at Siwah in 332/1? The contemporary narrative sources, as ever, do not survive as such, and the available reports of at least the main authors all tell different stories. This really does matter, because these were issues over which Alexander himself quite certainly took great care to control the flow of information, and one of the many paradoxes of his career is that, despite or because of that concern, the facts are so often murky and controversial. For reasons given here, too, various sorts of material objects lie at the very kernel of this historical enterprise. The illustrations of these objects are therefore not merely an optional extra but a key component of the history - any history - of Alexander. They have been selected with a view to combining the familiar with the unfamiliar, the spectacular with the ordinary, the decorative with the documentary. The book concludes with a series of technical aids: a Table of Achaemenid Kings, a Dramatis Personae (register of prominent individuals), a Glossary (including place names, and a Bibliography). The authors and works referred to in the text can usually be found listed in the relevant chapter’s suggestions for further reading in the Bibliography. Some of the suggestions are aimed more particularly at the scholar than the general reader but general readers, too, will assuredly find plenty here to stimulate them further. Terminology: I use ‘Macedon’ as a political term to refer to the state or kingdom of Macedon that Alexander inherited and that was the ultimate basis of his position and power. ‘Macedonia’ is for me a geographical term, referring to the territory that formed the core of the state/kingdom of Macedon. Occasionally, these two terms overlap. ‘Greater Macedonia’ refers to the enlarged territory conquered and consolidated as a state by Philip, the northern frontier of which Alexander sought to extend as far as the Danube. In much Western literature ‘Persia’ and ‘Iran’ have been used interchangeably, but strictly Persia {Persis in Greek) is the heartland of the Persian people, occupying a mountainous region northeast of the Persian Gulf; whereas Iran embraces also ancient Media to the north, and some more. In this book ‘Iran’ means the area of modern Iran, and ‘Persia’ the state or empire of the Achaemenid Persians. Monetary Equivalents: I have not tried to translate ancient monetary figures into modern equivalents. A silver Greek ‘talent’ (a word of Babylonian origin) contained 100 minas or 6,000 drachmas. Two to three drachmas a day was a skilled workman’s wage in Alexander’s time. To be seriously rich, the equivalent of a sterling or dollar millionaire, you had to be worth three or more talents, probably. So when Harpalus ran off with 5,000 talents in 324, or when Alexander gained access to Persian treasure worth perhaps 180,000 talents in 330, we are dealing with very big numbers indeed. Translations: all translations from ancient Greek and Latin sources are my own. I have sometimes deviated slightly from a strictly literal rendering to ease the flow and cadence of the English.

There is really no need for any special justification, let alone apology for a new history of Alexander; he is one of those very few iconic figures who remade the world and constantly inspire us to remake our own worlds. Born in 356BCE in Macedonia, present day Thessaloniki, Alexander led the army of his father, King Philip, conquering mainland Greece at the age of eighteen. Two years later, he was himself crowned king. Within the next twelve years Alexander conquered almost the entire known world, pushing the limits of Greek and Macedonian power to astonishing levels. Under his leadership, the Greeks defeated the Persians three times, including the world-shattering battle of Gaugamela at which 1 million Persians took to the field against his army. At the age of only 26 Alexander had made himself master of the once mighty Persian Empire and by the time of his death in 323 he was being worshipped as a god by the Greeks, both at Babylon, where he died, and further west, among the Greek cities of the Asiatic seaboard. Meticulously researched, vividly written and bringing to bear a lifetime's scholarship, this is an outstanding biography of one of the most remarkable rulers in history.

Paul Cartledge, one of the world s foremost scholars of ancient Greece, illuminates the brief but iconic life of Alexander (356-323 BC), king of Macedon, conqueror of the Persian Empire, and founder of a new world order. Alexander's legacy has had a major impact on military tacticians, scholars, statesmen, adventurers, authors, and filmmakers. Cartledge brilliantly evokes Alexander's remarkable political and military accomplishments, cutting through the myths to show why he was such a great leader. He explores our endless fascination with Alexander and gives us insight into his charismatic leadership, his capacity for brutality, and his sophisticated grasp of international politics. Alexander the Great is an engaging portrait of a fascinating man, and a welcome balance to the myths, legends, and often skewed history that have obscured the real Alexander.
