Alexander the Great, is arguably one of the most iconic figures to emerge from classical antiquity. The scale of his accomplishments and his untimely death at 32 ensured that his legend would live to the present day. But how active was Alexander in creating this legend? Countless images of Alexander survive on coins, busts, and statuary, each one representing the king with curved ram’s horns peeking through his tousled, mane-like hair. In this class, we ask why Alexander chose to depict himself this way, and how it benefited the king, but also created dissent in his army.
