Compared with the Romanian "History of Troy", so faithful still to Homer and his epigonoi, the Romanian "Alexandria" seems to the untrained reader of old Romanian literature (like the author of these lines confesses to be) a collection of wild fantasy stories.}, abstract={This article tries to highlight the universal mythological "topoi" which pervade the Romanian legend of Alexander the Great, as well as the place of this tale in the larger context of the popular old Romanian literature and the stories of some of its manuscripts and early printed versions, stories which are sometimes even stranger than the tale of the main character of the legend, Alexander himself.}, type={artykuł}, title={The legend of Alexander of Macedon in the late mediaeval and early modern manuscripts of the Romanian principalities = Legenda Aleksandra Macedońskiego w późnośredniowiecznych i wczesnonowożytnych manuskryptach księstw rzymskich}, keywords={Alexandria, Alexander of Macedon (356 p.n.e.-323 p.n.e.), Island of the Blessed, Island of Women, Amazons, Cleitarchus, Pseudo-Callisthenes, Nagomudrii, Gates of Paradise, Aleksandria, Aleksander Wielki (356-323), Wyspy Szczęśliwe, Wyspa Kobiet, Amazonki, Klejtarchos, Pseudo-Kallistenes, Bramy Raju}, }
