From the prototype of a legendary Alexander the Great it has gone through various transformations, and has also been kept alive in many of the Islamic literatures.On three different aspects of this inexhaustible field of research, each of the authors has made a brief survey. The result shows quite a few examples of continuities, parallelisms and complex convergences, but there also appear the first signs of an erosion of the myths through the effect of a critical spirit aroused by the Western approach. |
