Review:
As a whole, I enjoyed this website about Alexander the Great because it makes an extensive effort to list many different aspects of his life and influences. Additionally, it is an excellent website for students conducting research because of list of books and source links available. While the originator of the website, Thomas William-Powlett, does not have an extensive academic background, his collaborators make frequent historical references to sources such as Arrian, Plutarch, and Curtius. It also provides information for those who are just beginning to learn about Alexander the Great, i.e., basic information, as well de-bunked pop culture myths (Alexander's sexuality).
