Alexander’s Reception in the Romanian Culture
Journal Title: ANALELE UNIVERSITATII "DUNAREA DE JOS" DIN GALATI. SERIA 19, ISTORIE - Year 2002, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
The fascinating personality of the great Macedonian penetrated long ago and in various ways in the Romanian culture. Firstly, by means of Alexandria, the popular book known from Ireland to the Java Islands, then, at a scientific level, by means of Miron Costin and C. Cantacuzino’s works, authors familiar with the Greek-Latin literary tradition on Alexander. Romanian hospodars and boyars bore his name, others – like Michael the Brave, as Iorga pointed out, or his diadochs and epigons – imitated him, as Caesar or Trajan did in their times. The author has tried, following other historians’ contributions, to bring more light to the diverse ways in which the image of the King was per-ceived: Fürstenspiegel, historical and political argument, literary motif etc., without leaving aside the great monarch’s reflection into the modern Romanian textbooks and historiography.
