¿Sabía usted que Alejandro Magno introdujo una vez la proskynesis en la corte macedonia?La proskynesis, el acto de besar el suelo o los pies de alguien de rango superior, era una costumbre habitual de los persas. En la corte del Imperio aqueménida, este acto se realizaba normalmente ante el rey. Tanto si eran nativos del país como si no, los súbditos debían postrarse ante el rey antes de poder pronunciar una palabra. A diferencia de los griegos y los macedonios, los persas solo practicaban la proskynesis cuando se comunicaban con sus antiguos dioses.La invasión del Imperio aqueménida siempre había sido una de las prioridades de Alejandro Magno. Desde que llegó al poder, el rey había deseado la sumisión de Darío III, el rey reinante de los persas en aquel momento. Aunque derrotó al rey en dos batallas y acabó conquistando sus territorios, al parecer Alejandro pronto sintió un profundo amor por las costumbres y tradiciones persas. Por supuesto, el cambio gradual del rey y su asimilación de la cultura persa no sentaron bien al pueblo macedonio.Según el antiguo escritor Arriano, cuando Alejandro intentó aplicar la proskynesis en su corte, su decisión fue recibida con críticas masivas tanto de los macedonios como de los griegos. E incluso cuando abandonó la práctica, los macedonios siguieron viendo cómo su rey aplicaba diversas costumbres persas en el reino. Algunos dijeron que su persianización desempeñó un papel menor en su muerte, mientras que otros afirmaron que murió de causas naturales. Las fuentes que narran la historia de Alejandro a menudo se contradicen entre sí, lo que puede a los ávidos lectores que deseen conocer la agitada vida del gran rey.Pero eso está a punto de cambiar. Con este nuevo y apasionante libro de historia, usted podrá explorar fácilmente los apasionantes acontecimientos que tuvieron lugar a lo largo de la vida de Alejandro Magno.He aquí solo una pequeña parte de lo que descubrirá:La mítica ascendencia de Alejandro Magno.Cómo fundaron su reino los primeros macedonios.Cómo Filipo II dio forma a la poderosa falange macedonia.La venganza que condujo al asesinato de Filipo.Cómo Alejandro reclamó la corona y sofocó las revueltas en la península griega.La primera batalla de Alejandro contra el colosal ejército persa.Alejandro como faraón de Egipto e hijo de Amón.La gran entrada de los macedonios en la India.La misteriosa relación entre Alejandro y Hefestión.Y mucho, ¡mucho más!Desplácese hacia arriba y haga clic en el botón añadir a la cesta para saber más sobre Alejandro Magno.
