Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great's conquests in the Mediterranean, North Africa, and Western Asia made him one of the most talked about figures in antiquity. Despite the availability of numerous primary sources, our ability to understand Alexander is made difficult because most of the primary sources were composed hundreds of years after his untimely death. Through weekly source comparisons, journals, and two short research papers, students will practices methods of historical research, and, in so doing, discover that Alexander was as protean in antiquity as he is today.
