Alexander I, a Useful Image for Athens
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Herodotus illustrates the significance of Alexander I of Macedonia within the conflict with the Persians and highlights the complexity of the political, commercial, and interpersonal relationships that developed in the context of the Persian Wars. The description of Alexander I, a Xerxes ally in his campaign against the Greeks, reveals a character who knows how to survive and thrive in a setting where the Macedonian monarchy plays an apparent little but crucial role. Despite the democracy that had taken over Athens, Herodotus took extra care to provide the monarch with a positive treatment, highlighting Alexander I's contributions and the benefits to Athens and the Greeks as a whole.
