| Title: Alexander and the Mongols Secondary Title: JAS Volume: 2 Pages: 123-136 Type: Journal Article Year: 1979 Abstract: "The association of Alexander the Great with the Mongols begins with identification of the Mongols with Gog and Magog. The legend of enclosing these peoples behind a wall of brass and iron from which they will break out at the end of the world begins in Josephus. There are two main versions of the legend: that in Pseudo-Methodius passed into Western recensions of the Alexander Romance, and that in the Christian legend concerning Alexander, composed in Mesopotamia, ca. A.D. 629-636". Keywords: Reception of Josephus: Antiquity, Middle Ages, Early Modern Period |
