A reconstruction of Deinokrates’ plan of sculpting Athos into Alexander
from the Archive of Maps of the National Map Gallery and the Collection of the
Mt. Athos/Agioreitikes Map Gallery. The photograph has been scanned from KAYHMERINH,
KOINVNIA, 28 MA:I:OU 2006, sel. 32, Thw GIVTAS MURTSIVTH [05-06-2006].

Alexander by Theophilos of Mytilene/Lesbos (Popular Art).

Nikos Engonopoulos’ Alexander-Pavlos Melas (1977). KAYHMERINH,
EPTA HMERES, KURIAKH 17 OKTVBRIOU 2004, 3. This particular painting is mentioned, for example, by
Ian Worthington in his <<How ‘Great’ was Alexander?>> in AHB 13.2
(1999) 41. Alexander is represented with his left arm around Pavlos Melas’
shoulder(s). Melas/ M€khw Z°zaw (nom de plume) is the romantic/heroized hero of the
Macedonian Struggle (MakedonikÚw ÉAg≈naw), who was killed at Statitsa/Statista/now Melas on
the 13th [/26th] of October 1904, near Mikre Prespa,
between Kastoria and Phlorina [EPTA HMERES, map on 15] (his position having been
betrayed, Melas was mortally wounded in the clash that followed with Ottoman
Turkish soldiers; his body was first buried at Statitsa, and from there
headless in the courtyard of the Taxiarches small church at Kastoria; the head
was cut off to avoid recognition and abuse). A dhmotikÚ/popular song memorialized
Melas’ untimely death: <<Sån t°toia ≈ra sto bounÒ / o PaÊlow plhgvm°now
/ mew sto nerÒ tou aulakioÊ / Ætane japlvm°now. / ktl. [reproduced in EPTA
HMERES, 2 and
27]. Melas is depicted faceless, as other figures in surrealist Engonopoulos’
paintings, but not Alexander whose helmet does not entirely obscure his facial
features, such as eye and nose, discernible between the helmet’s
<<facial>> opening. Engonopoulos’ faceless figures find an
explanation in his poem ÉElmpassån [online, www.engonopoulos.gr/_homeEL/poem06.html, with an English translation
in the English version of <<his>>/daughter’s web page, www.engonopoulos.gr, Epim°leia Erri°tth
EggonopoÊlou].
Toward the end of the poem, Engonopoulos writes <<he saw people without
eyes >> who <<disappeared like a dream as they turned the corner,
only to reappear at the other corner in their sinister promenade>>

From ERT Sat,
Wednesday, 25 August 2004, between
9:30 and 9:44 PM, ALHYINA SENARIA, dhmosiografikØ parous€ash, N€kow
Aslan€dhw, presenting
ecotourist (ofikotourismÚw) facilities in the area of Basil€tsa-Polun°ri, NomÚw
Greben«n, and the
cave t«n Numf«n was
mentioned, where Alexander spent time planning his campaigns in the East [a sÆragga=s∞ragj=tunnel also led down to the
river below], as a local man so stated [see TUMFAIA, under http://www.history.ccsu.edu/elias/MakBibliogrMerosB.htm]. The scene then shifted to Mt. Pangaion=Pagga›on and the <<dasikÚ
xvriÒ>> of
about 15 finnish-type houses; a spÆlaion=cave there is
called/identified as <<tÚ metalle›o toË ÉAl°jandrou>> [again as a local man
said].
ON the same theme, a
new legend about Alexander is being created/circulated in Pentalophos, ancient
Orestis, because of finds in the area [under http://www.history.ccsu.edu/elias/TaliarosA.htm in this web site], namely
that Alexander trained his soldiers in the area, because of the high
altitude/cool weather and the •lonos€a=malaria that the Makedones would have had to face in
the area of Pella [this writer heard it from the friend who imagined it, name
omitted (first time, 22-8-04)].

Thesis, as reported
by F. Mp.: Tomb II does not belong to Philip II, but
to Arridaios Philippos [this writer: as some others maintain, but there are
serious obstacles to this view].
Philip II was buried in Tomb III. Later Antigonos Gonatas modified Tomb
II and Alexander and Roxane were reburied there, as was Alexander IV,
Alexander’s and Roxane’s son, in Tomb III.

NOTE.
At least Olympias’ name should be given correctly [instead of Olympia]. The impetus for this film and others
about Alexander appears to be <<A bisexual world conqueror with dreams of
a multicultural kingdom and all sorts of mother issues>>, identified
therein as <<perfect territory for both Stone and Luhrmann>>. Such films, of course, usually mirror
the present than the past.

Misnomer: Alexander is called
<<emperor>>=<<Macedonian emperor Alexander III>> [ad init.,
col. I] instead of king/basileus/basileÊw, which is his correct
title.
And the fashionable of nowadays is there:
<< … the carnage wrought by his turf-grabbing thrust into the Middle East
and Asia>> and <<Alexander’s rapacity>> [ad init., col. I].
Another misnomer, calling Olympias
<<theatrical mother>>=<<… and where [=Pella] his theatrical
mother, Olympias, was very much part of political life>> [this
characterization may possibly have its origin in Stone’s
<<Alexander>> mentioned at the beginning].

December
2004. As reported in the Internet, Eugene N. Borza spoke on Oliver Stone’s
<<Alexander>> et alia; his usual/known views were reiterated/restated, one of
them being that ancient Macedonia should be severed from ancient Greece, that
is, to form a separate history from the rest of Greece. Such views, of course,
are in violation of the fact that ancient Makedonia was part of the
metropolitan Hellenic world, to which the Makedones/ancient Macedonians
belonged, not withstanding the sources which at times, speaking of
Hellenes/Makedones or Makedonia/Hellas, convey the impression, if other
evidence is disregaded, that the Makedones and Hellenes are entirely two
distinct species. However, already in the time of Alexander I [ca. 505-454
B.C.] Makedonia was integrated into Hellas, with the culmination in Alexander’s
expression of <<Makedonia and the rest of Hellas>>/Makedon€a
ka‹ ≤ êllh ÑEllåw in
his letter to Darius [Arrian, 2.14.4]. (Hellas/Hellenes, Makedonia/Makedones in
place of Greece/Greeks, Macedonia/Macedonians, the latter playing into the
current dispute)

Parsi priest Hoshangji. From The Sacred Books and Early Literature of the East,
Volume VII: Ancient Persia, ed. Charles F. Horne, Ph.D., copyright 1917.]
Part 1. Introduction.]
CHAPTER 1. [Religious disputes and the need for spiritual
guidance]
IN THE NAME OF GOD
1. They say that, once upon a time, the pious Zartosht made the
religion, which he had received, current in the world; (2) and till the
completion of 300 years, the religion was in purity, and men were without
doubts.
3. But afterward, the accursed evil spirit, the wicked one, in order
to made men doubtful of this religion, (4) instigated the accursed Alexander,
the Roman, who was dwelling in Egypt, so that he came to the country of Iran
with severe cruelty and war and devastation; (5) he also slew the ruler of
Iran, (6) and destroyed the metropolis and empire, and made them desolate.
7. And this religion, namely, all the Avesta and Zand, written
upon prepared cow-skins, and with gold ink, was deposited in the archives, in
Stakhar Papakan, (8) and the hostility of the evil-destined, wicked Ashemok,
the evil-doer, brought onward Alexander, the Roman, who was dwelling in Egypt,
and he burned them up. (9) And he killed several Dasturs and judges and Herbads
and Mobads and upholders of the religion, and the competent and wise of the country
of Iran. (10) And he cast hatred and strife, one with the other, amongst the
nobles and householders of the country of Iran; (11) and self-destroyed, he
fled to hell.

NOTE. In the above translation Alexander is identified as
<<the Roman>> [under Nos. 3 & 7], but this is probably an
incorrect rendering, for the original document undoubtedly reads ÑRvma›ow in the sense of
Byzantine, which survived into modern times as RvmhÒw=Greek. Therefore, the ÑRvma›ow [or whatever the
form may be in the original of Arda Viraf] still recognizes Alexander as a
Hellen [Greek].
