Norman F. Cantor
Cantor describes Alexander's ambiguous relationship with his father, Philip II of Macedon; his oedipal involvement with his mother, the Albanian princess Olympias; and his bisexuality. He traces Alexander's attempts to bridge the East and West, using Achilles, hero of the Trojan War, as his model.
Finally, Cantor explores Alexander's view of himself in relation to the pagan gods of Greece and Egypt. More than a biography, Cantor's Alexander the Great is a psychological rendering of a man of his time.

That all stops by the last hour or so, however, and the book itself is pretty good.

It’s intriguing how Alexander has been glorified by some and how some folks want to leave out the common day practices of the ancient times…to cherry pick actions.🤷🏻♀️Oh, well.🤷🏻♀️🫢
