Alexander’s march from the Granicus to Issus and beyond into immortality left much more than the Seleucid, Attalid and Ptolemaic legacy in Anatolia. The founder of cities, the liberator of diverse peoples from Persian rule, left more than a pride of feuding, imitative successors and a constellation of Macedonian urban settlements. He left the tradition of his own divinity which, like the blind men and the elephant in China, was everything local religious leaders and their followers expected it to be.In honor of Professor Ekrem Akurgal, who has written so eloquently of Graeco-Roman as well as earlier Anatolia, a few remarks are offered about what happened to Alexander the Great in Asia Minör in the five centuries of Roman rule (1).
