Mitsakis, " Διήγησις περὶ τοῦ Ἀλεξάνδρου καὶ τῶν μεγάλων πολέμων", Byzantinisch-neugriechische Jahrbücher 20 (1970) The oldest version of the Greek text, the Historia Alexandri Magni (Recensio α), can be dated to the 3rd century CE. It was subjected to various revisions during the Byzantine Empire, some of them recasting it into poetical form in Medieval Greek vernacular. Recensio α is the source of a Latin version by Julius Valerius Alexander Polemius (4th century), as well as an Armenian version (5th century). Most of the content of the Romance is fantastical, including many miraculous tales and encounters with mythical creatures such as sirens or centaurs.

I still can’t appreciate iambic pentameter, but I know a good couplet when I see it: Budge, Sir Ernest Alfred Wallis, ed. (1889). The History of Alexander the Great, Being the Syriac Version. Vol.II. Cambridge University Press.The aim of the Alexander technique is to help you "unlearn" these bad habits and achieve a balanced, more naturally aligned body. Learning the Alexander technique hm. it feels like i've read more than that. i guess because i've seen them performed or read abridged versions of them. ah. It took me more than two months of intense reading that toughened my wrists and arms from reading it on the train standing, hardened my heart with stony indifference against people's perplexed and peering gazes thrown at me even to the point of leaning in from the side to see what the hell I'm reading, and made me utterly fearless against any future reference to Shakespeare.

Collectively, Shakespeare’s works are epic. Comedies, dramas, historical plays, beautifully crafted poems and sonnets. It’s been a very worthwhile reading challenge.

The Syriac version of the Alexander Romance is preserved in five manuscripts, the oldest of which was compiled in 1708-09. [7] It is largely based on the Greek Pseudo-Callisthenes version, with slight modifications, such as the addition of Alexander's journey to China.

After a couple of weeks of experimentation, I realised the AI had the potential to describe imaginary artworks. To my delight, I discovered I could prompt it to write the kind of text you see on a wall label next to a painting in an art gallery. This would prove to be the start of a fascinating collaborative journey with GPT-3 and a suite of other AI art tools, leading to work that has ranged from a physical sculpture of toilet plungers to full-size oil paintings on the wall of a Mayfair art gallery.
