The Prose Life of Alexander, written by Robert Thornton, is a biographical account of the life of Alexander the Great, the famous ancient Greek king and military commander. The book is written in prose format, which means that it is written in a straightforward, non-poetic style.The book covers Alexander's life from his childhood to his death at the age of 32. It includes details about his upbringing, his military campaigns, his conquests of various regions, and his relationships with his family and friends.Throughout the book, Thornton presents a balanced view of Alexander, highlighting both his strengths and weaknesses. He portrays Alexander as a brilliant military strategist and leader, but also as a man who was often impulsive and prone to violent outbursts.The Prose Life of Alexander is a valuable resource for anyone interested in ancient history, military strategy, or biographical writing. It provides a detailed and engaging account of one of history's most fascinating figures, and offers insight into the world in which he lived.Darius, kyng of kynges, and lorde of lorde, vn-till oure seruande Alexander.
