Overview

"Delve into the intriguing intertextual connection between Alexander the Great's purported last words and the symbolism of the golden apple of Eris/Discord. This book embarks on a literary exploration that unearths the fascinating parallel between these two distinct but symbolically linked phrases. The dying remarks of Alexander, ""to the strongest man"" or ""to the best man,"" in response to the question of who would inherit his kingdom, echo the poetic tradition of the golden apple thrown by Eris among the goddesses, bearing the phrase ""to the most beautiful goddess."" This book uncovers the profound connections and influences between these superlative-containing phrases."
