This basic scheme will be more or less preserved by later Persian narrative sources interested in the legend of Sikandar, the Persian name rendering the Arabic form al-Iskandar of the Greek name jAlevxandro" that will become in Latin and later in English and German Alexander.

Alexander also met and discussed metaphysics with the Indian philosophers. Incidentally, Alexander the Great reigned for 13 years B. He went as far as India in search of knowledge. He competed in practical and also esoteric wisdom against the Indian sages and holy men They wrote also in Arabic and we shall not dwell too long on their writings. Nevertheless, we must mention some interesting topoi of their Alexander stories. This entire scene is unbelievable and typical for an Oriental fable.

However, many elements of the story are to be found in the Greek and Latin authors, especially in Pseudo-Callisthenes and the writers belonging to the so-called Vulgata or Vulgate tradition, stemming from Clitarchus. In the end, Iskandar will leave this world as naked as he entered it, a topos dear to many a writer from the Christian, Islamic, and even Buddhist traditions however, the Buddhists and the Hindus refer to other great monarchs, taken as examples from the ancient history of India.

Stories about the Prophets. Nevertheless, the true heroes of his book are heroines, beautiful women who are the precious stones of his stories. They replied that it is to be found towards the West, an echo of the 18th Surah of the Koran, the Surah al-Kahf Surah of the Cavern , verse Undeterred, the fearless Iskandar sets himself in motion, seeking and searching for the Fountain, not out of a desire for his individual physical immortality, but out of a personal quest for physically worshipping God into eternity, like the Archangel Raphael does.

He points to Iskandar the precise location of the Fountain of Life. However, the hero will eventually loose his way to the Fountain of Life and with hardship Iskandar will come out of the dark region, the land of darkness that surrounds the Fountain of Life We shall come now to the Persian writers who wrote their poems in the new Persian language, evolved out of the spoken form or forms of the Middle Persian idiom.

There are a few comments to be made on this topic: Iskandar is here more Ghilgamesh the king of Uruk than Alexander of Macedon. He sets forth in quest for the Fountain of Life exactly as his older Sumerian counterpart sets out in quest for the Herb of Immortality and after finding it, he eventually lost it. For the ancient Greeks, the golden apples of the Hesperidae, searched for by the hero Heracles, who brought some as his 10th labour to king Eurystheus of Mykenae, are located also in the West.

He was a contemporary or near contemporary of other great Persian poets, Rudaki and Dakiki. This priceless work was not destroyed by the Muslim Arab conquerors of Persia. It was preserved, not translated because it contained heathen traditions in the eyes of the new Muslim rulers of Iran and Central Asia; nevertheless, it was an important book for a people with a religion of the book, as the Zoroastrians were seen by the Muslims ; however, in the course of time some acceptable in Islamic eyes parts of it were translated or rather adapted into Arabic.

Alexander the Great or Iskandar become Sikandar for Firdousi, who dedicated some verses to him in the Persian epic. After many challenges and heroic deeds and exploits, Sikandar will reach the earthly Paradise, where an oracle will tell him of the futility of his earthly ambitions and his approaching death. Sikandar is thus fully integrated and assimilated by Firdousi into the royal lines of Pre-Islamic Iran.

In the end we have the morality of the emptiness of human ambitions, pride, and endeavors, even if Sikandar remains for Firdousi and generally speaking for the world of Islam the absolute paradigm of a greater than life king and worldly hero. This book on Alexander is part of a cycle of five poems hamsa.
