In my childhood, I used to watch "Professional Wrestling", which was completely staged, and not true wrestling. One of the popular wrestlers was an Egyptian, who went by the name of "Skandor Akbar." Only later, did I learn what the name meant.
The statue seems to present the usual interpretation of Alexander, brilliant, ruthless, and driven. A man of considerable courage and leadership, who knows what the world would be like if he had not died so young? When his army finally refused to go any farther east, would he have then turned to Italy and Iberia and Gaul? |
