The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great Quotes

“As a reviewer once told me, the story of Alexander’s tomb without a body is like Hamlet without the Prince…. The rest is silence.”
― Andrew Chugg, The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great

“Alexander emerges as an almost Hamlet-like figure, more sinned against than sinning. In a sense Alexander, too, was haunted and motivated by his father’s ghost... He may well have saved more lives than he destroyed and was rarely gratuitous in the use of violence... his legacy is enormous. He was the founder of the Hellenistic Age, which in turn has bequeathed us the foundations of our modern art, science and culture.”
― Andrew Chugg, The Quest for the Tomb of Alexander the Great
