Episode 87: Alexander the Great, with Meg Finlayson

Alexander the Great is easily one of the most popular subjects for writers and artists throughout antiquity. In addition to the many biographies that present wildly different views on the man, there are a dazzling number of depictions of the conqueror in coinage, statues, and various other works of art. Joining us is Meg Finlayson who discusses her research on the image and legacy of Alexander, breaking down the historiography of writers like Plutarch and Arrian while also extensively analyzing pieces such as the so-called "Alexander Sarcophagus".Episode Notes:(https://hellenisticagepodcast.wordpress.com/2021/01/22/interview-alexander-the-great-in-ancient-art-literature-w-meg-finlayson/)Meg Finlayson Links:Twitter: (https://twitter.com/agameganon)Social Media:Twitter (https://twitter.com/HellenisticPod)Facebook (www.facebook.com/hellenisticagepodcast/)Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/hellenistic_age_podcast/)Show Merchandise:Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/HellenisticAgePod)Redbubble (https://www.redbubble.com/people/HellenisticPod/shop?asc=u)Donations:Ko-Fi (https://ko-fi.com/hellenisticagepodcast)Amazon Book Wish List (https://tinyurl.com/vfw6ask)

Interview: Alexander the Great in Ancient Art & Literature w/ Meg Finlayson

Liv speaks with Meg Finlayson (@agameganon on Twitter) all about Alexander the Great and Macedon. They talk history and mythology, especially in relation to the 2004 movie (but you don't have to have sat through those 3 hours, don't worry!).CW/TW: far too many Greek myths involve assault. Given it's fiction, and typically involves gods and/or monsters, I'm not as deferential as I would be were I referencing the real thing.Attributions and licensing information for music used in the podcast can be found here: mythsbaby.com/sources-attributions.
