Sunday sounds: Second Advent Sunday - Peace
This week, we light the purple Bethlehem Candle, as we remember Mary and Joseph's journey, and as we are getting one week closer to Christmas. Its message is about Peace: something so difficult to find, both in the world and on this tiny speck of the Internet, that the easiest solution is to look for it within ourselves.
Having already encountered renewed Hope on our own journey to Bethlehem, we take a moment to open our hearts and minds:
'Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.' (King James' Bible -Luke, 2:14).
This is my favorite Greek Christmas carol and it comes from Thrace, way up in the North. Unlike what I wrote first (mislead by the fact the choir is from Edessa, in Central Macedonia), this is probably the most mysterious of all the Greek provinces. It is one of the only places in the country you will find mosques and Orthodox churches standing side by side, because it is home to the scant Turk minority. It is also one of the refugees' gateways to the West, crossing the Evros river that separates Greece from Turkey. But above anything else, as the Easternmost point of continental Greece, it is probably the closest to Byzantium: and it shows, if you listen closely enough.
Χριστός γιννιέται, χαρά στουν κόσμου means Christ is born, joy to the world and it would have been perhaps more suitable for next week. But I don't really care, because the deep sense of serenity it manages to convey, across any language barriers, is just about what is needed.
From East to West, this time, may Peace be with you and yours, on this day! We are already midway - and every day brings us closer and closer to the Light.

Hi there! I've really enjoyed your blog-- there's a lot of good information on it. In fact, I just wrote a novel set in ancient Thebes, set in 335 BCE, right before Alexander's attack. However, I'm a little scared to write the sequel, because Alex is going to show up in it as a major character. He is SO famous, and there's so many books about him, that I hardly know where to begin.
So, do you have any specific books you recommend, like any good starter bios or anything else that would be good for this specific setting? (Specifically against the destruction of Thebes and right before the invasion of Persia.)
Thank you so much!
Some Useful Bibliography on Alexander (and Thebes)
Thank you! And sorry for the delay. The queries in my inbox tend to be feast or famine. LOL
In terms of information on Alexander, I would start with the brand new Cambridge Companion to Alexander the Great, edited by Daniel Ogden. It has many of the leading scholars. On Alexander and the Greeks in particular, see my dear friend Borja Antela’s chapter. This is now what I’d consider the best intro resource on Alexander for the interested non-specialist, especially as it’s reasonably priced. The bibliography will help a lot. For Macedonia itself, Carol Thomas has Alexander and His World (which I’ve used teaching) and Carol King has Ancient Macedonia. Both are good, one-book introductions.
If you’ve not already, you’ll want to consult Mark Munn’s chapter “Thebes and Central Greece” in The Greek World in the Fourth Century, Larry Tritle, ed. Paul Cartledge also has a book Thebes: The Forgotten City of Ancient Greece, but he’s a Spartan specialist. Lately, publishers have had him write on other subjects—not always to good effect, as per his book on Alexander, imo. But I’ve not read this one so can’t comment. I think Thebes is closer to his usual bailiwick.
James Romm did a book The Sacred Band., although like Cartledge Romm is all over the place. Same cautions apply. And I’ll also offer the counter-proposal that the band was not pairs of lovers, by David Leitao, "The Legend of the Sacred Band," in The Sleep of Reason by Martha Nussbaum and Juha Sihvola, eds. His view is not a homophobic diss; it’s a source problem. Plutarch is our sole source for the lovers bit, and he’s notoriously unreliable on some facts, especially when he has an ulterior message.
The more I study Plutarch, the less I trust him. LOL
Last, another friend and colleague, Jenn Finn has written a bang-up chapter on the destructions of both Thebes and Persepolis, for the upcoming collection I edited, so I got a preview. “Urbicide, Memory Sanctions, and the Perso-Macedonian Dynasty.” I’m not sure when the collection will be out, but certainly not before late 2024, and more likely 2025. She might be willing to share the draft, however, if you need it immediately. She’s at Loyola U. in Chicago. As always, Jenn does fantastic work.
