2355 years ago, on the 1st of October 331 BCE, the Army of Macedon under Alexander the Great defeated the Persian Army under King Darius III in the Battle of Gaugamela. It is seen as the final blow to the Persian Empire. #otd #history #persia #alexanderthegreat 🗃️

Conqueror or Brutal Butcher? Alexander's Mixed Reputation. I poke a bit at the vexed dichotomy of Alexander's position in history. Also, the tendency to knock him down a peg because he can't really be "all that." But he's not someone to emulate. #classicsbluesky #ancientbluesky #alexanderthegreat

On #BetwixtTheSheets this week, I am chinwagging with the marvellous Tristan Hughes about Olympias, the mother of #AlexanderTheGreat; badass, warrior, and alleged snake botherer.

Alexander The Great - Iron Maiden
My son, ask for thyself another kingdom. For that which I leave is too small for thee. Near to the East, in a part of ancient Greece.

I loved this description "While historians and literary critics tend to use phrases like “contains nothing of historic or literary value”, this was the greatest page-turner of the ancient and medieval worlds." #books #bookreviews #AlexanderTheGreat

A fun little video about #alexanderthegreat and self-promotion. The man wasn't shy. Standing on the Hollywood Walk of Fame seemed a golden opportunity to talk, in brief, about his marketing. I mixed up my streets; not worth trying to redo it. #classicsbluesky #ancientbluesky

And you can special order copies of my novels from them, DANCING WITH THE LION. So if you want a paper copy for Pride month, buy it from a bookstore that doesn't support anti-trans writers! #alexanderthegreat

🪷 #Alexandria's main street is aligned to sunrise on July 20th, the birthday of #AlexanderTheGreat. Born in 356 BC, #Alexander founded the city in 331 BC. Archaeo-astronomer Giulio Magni says the Canopic Road pointed to the rising sun in that year. More: antinousstars.blogspot.com/2025/07/alex... 🪷
