Document Details : Title: Alexander the Great's Flying Machine Subtitle: An Iconographic Study Author(s): BOARDMAN, John Journal: Ancient West & East Volume: 14 Date: 2015 Pages: 313-322 DOI: 10.2143/AWE.14.0.3108199 Abstract : The iconography for Alexander’s flying machine, as described in the Alexander Romance, spread throughout Christian Europe. The notion and the elements of the iconography can, however, be traced in early Mesopotamia, Syria/Palestine, Roman and notably Sasanian art. Oxford’s Alfred Jewel may also be a candidate. |
