Title: Wrong Title and Serious Lapses in Historical Accuracy
Product review: Wood had created serious lapses in historical accuracy. Alexander's journey wasn't from "Greece to Asia" as Wood puts it in his title, but from Macedonia to Asia. Non of the ancient historians wrote that the Macedonians left from Greece to counquer the world, but from Pella, Macedonia. It is simply incorrect to call Alexander or his Macedonian army "Greek", when the ancient Greek and Roman historians made a clear distinction between the Greek and Macedonian nations. Alexander was known as Macedonian and had never been called "Greek", not in one single ancient text, and Wood should have represented him for what he was. Instead he left an inaccurate portrait of the famous conqueror ascribing him a false ethnicity for which he was anyways sharply criticized by Archaeology in 1998.
