On Friday I\u00a0wrote a post on the London Review of Books blog about Alexandromania.\u00a0It begins as follows:<\/p>\n

“On Monday, six days before the general election, the Greek Ministry of Culture published a preliminary report by the osteo-archaeological team studying the skeletal remains found in the mound of Amphipolis in northern Greece. The bones were found in November, since when there had been a lot of speculation about who they might have belonged to. Alexander the Great\u2019sname came up a lot, as did his mother\u2019s, Olympias”<\/p>\n
