The Alexander romance is any of several collections of legends concerning the mythical exploits of Alexander the Great. The earliest version is in Greek; dating to the 3rd century. Several late manuscripts attribute the work to Alexander's court historian Callisthenes; but the historical figure died before Alexander and could not have written a full account of his life. The unknown author is still sometimes called Pseudo-Callisthenes.

The text was recast into various versions between the 4th and the 16th centuries CE; in Medieval Greek; Latin; Armenian; Syriac; Hebrew and most medieval European vernaculars. Pictures From History
