The Legacy of Alexander the Great
Anthologia Palatina 7.240 = Adaeus of Macedon (late 4th cent. BCE) If anyone sings of the tomb of Alexander the Macedonian, Say that his funeral marker is Europe and Asia both. τύμβον Ἀλεξάνδροιο Μακηδόνος ἤν τις ἀείδῃ, ἠπείρους κείνου σῆμα λέγ᾽ ἀμφοτέρας.
Alexander the Great and Roxane, Pietro Antonio Rotari, 1756
