Alexander's domain

These maps showing the easternmost reach of Alexander's campaign come from the Wikipedia article about him, a worthy supplement to Plutarch's Life.



A bust after Lysippus

if the deity that sent down Alexander's soul into this world of ours had not recalled him quickly, one law would govern all mankind, and they all would look toward one rule of justice as though toward a common source of light. But as it is, that part of the world which has not looked upon Alexander has remained without sunlight. ~ Plutarch.
