Alexander the Great: Myth, Genesis and Sexuality

130,000-word closely argued, innovative, monograph, subsuming several items also published in this REF period that might respectably have been submitted as outputs in their own right. The book is based upon mature and reflective criticism of the author's successful 1999 book, Polygamy, Prostitutes and Death: the Hellenistic Dynasties, ranges widely across the vast Alexander scholarship, and unites the diverse fields of historiography, foundational mythology, and ancient sexuality. The achievement of the book was recognised in its shortlisting (7 of 35 submissions) for the 2012 Runciman award, alongside, e.g., Osborne, History Written on the Classical Greek Body.
