Seen on the LJ of the fantastic babyraven.  Apparently having somewhere around ten books on the life of Alexander the Great and having read them all makes me a History nerd.  I thought that it might just make me a strange breed of fag hag.  

By the way, Robin Lane Fox is cool and all.  Mary Renault's Nature was an interesting overview of his life and, more interestingly, his personality.   But you haven't read about Alexander until you've read the Campaigns by Arrian.  That's the real shit, son.
