Few individuals from history have captured the imagination quite like Alexander the Great (336-323 B.C.). He is most famous for his vast military success. He is so monumental a figure, however, that he also had a large impact on the development of every aspect of Ancient Greek Culture. Dr. Waldemar Heckel from the University of Calgary will be delivering a lecture titled The Alexander Sarcophagus from Sidon: no open-and-shut case.
