Alexander’s personality and exploits enchanted writers, poets and artists. This has contributed to the creation of Alexander’s various images in Byzantins art and literature. The oldest of these images, dating back to ancient times, are those of the ideal hunter, heroes and good prince.Alexander Roman, epic byzantine poetry, the comments on Daniel’s book and other texts of the Church’s Peres, through their illustrations and related works of art, associated Alexandre with the heroes of Antiquity and the Former Testament, linking him to the Christian world. Ascension d’Alexandre, one of the most popular themes of the novel’s pictural cycle, extends the Empire of the Grand Conquant to waxes, while stressing its limits, those of a mortel.Puis, in late and post-byzantine byzantine times, Alexander’s image became associated with a poetic gender dealing with human ephemere. According to a legend, the Sisoes monk discovered Alexander’s grave and backbone. Alexander is therefore represented in a sarcophage or crushed to the feet by Charon. These compositions are popular in the fresh of the Monasteries du Mont-Athos and in the cretoise icon painting. Alexander symbolises the futile of any tercine gloire, but these monks and poets who meditate on the death of the hero and the fate of man do not want to see it disappear in a tomb or remain captive of death. In a few postbyzantines icons, Alexander becomes both a symbol of the ephemeral and of the just man whose soul, at the time of the treasure, is received by Archange Michel. His rise in Paradis is the theme of the legends found in the literary tradition of Alexander.
