Cartledge and Romm Discuss Alexander

I’ve mentioned these in my Explorator newsletter, but I don’t think I’ve mentioned them here (and I think I missed one in Explorator). Forbes has a very interesting weekly series going on in which Paul Cartledge and James Romm are discussing various aspects of Alexander the Great:

• Two Great Historians On Alexander the Great, Part One [on when Alexander came to be called ‘The Great’ as well as a list of interesting topics at the end which could be used on an exam or as essay questions]
• Two Great Historians On Alexander the Great Part Two [on whether Alexander was involved in the death of his father]
• Two Great Historians Talk Alexander the Great Part 3 [on problems with source material for Alexander]
• Two Great Historians Talk Alexander The Great, Part 4 [on the Greek attitude toward Alexander]
