Alexander the Great is a legend. A wonderful legend. But only a legend. And this series is just entertainment.
I'm a m/t Greek speaker, so I'm watching it mute with Greek subtitles... Works quite well, as entertainment.
I'm a fan of Valerio Massimo Manfredi, the Italian archeologist/ancient historian and novelist, whose Alexander Trilogy is a masterpiece of storytelling.
I'm not interested in Alexander's 'historicity' because for me, he is a legend and that's how I know and love him.
So, this series relates that legend in a certain way that I find quite enjoyable, in Greek!
If I want 'accuracy' I'll go to a book. For me this is simply pure ancient escapism! Wonderful!
