She is currently working on a new book on the topic of goddesses who fall in love with mortal men, and howthis theme plays out in Greek poetry and cult. “I look forward to following in Alexander’s footsteps,” she says, “and will enjoyrevisiting sites that are central to Greek history, literature and culture.”

Dear Columbian,

Few figures in history loom so large as Alexander the Great. The young Macedonianking, tutored by Aristotle, set out in the 4th century B.C. to conquer the world—andmight well have done so, had malaria or poison not felled him in Babylon. In the courseof a mere twelve years, from 335 to 323 B.C., this military genius conquered the mightyPersian Empire and its possessions, stretching from the Mediterranean to the IndusRiver.

We are proud to invite you on an unprecedented travel-study voyage tracing the firstheady years of Alexander the Great’s conquest, following his route from Macedoniainto the ancient Asia Minor dominions of Mysia, Caria and Cilicia, and throughPhoenicia to Egypt and the great city he founded, Alexandria. Though more than2,300 years have elapsed since Philip II’s son mounted his legendary horse Bucephalus,many ruins and monuments remain from this dramatic period in ancient history; and,on our tour through the Turkish countryside and the Egyptian deserts, one can stillreadily imagine Alexander’s astoundingly massive, 35,000-strong army advancingthrough the fields.

Arriving in Thessaloniki, named after Alexander’s sister, visit Pella, the ancient citywhere Alexander was born. Continue to Macedonian Royal Tombs in Vergina, theancient Macedonian capital of Aigai, where Philip II lies buried. Then, embarking onthe five-star Corinthian II, and settling into one of its 57 luxurious suites, we set off forlegendary Troy. Throughout his campaigns, Alexander slept with a copy of the Iliadunderneath his pillow; here, he paid homage to Achilles before destroying the Persianarmies of Darius III.

The lightning-quick Macedonian advance down the coast of modern Turkey is the stuffof legend. We will concentrate on a couple of Alexander’s most coveted possessions,Ephesus, Xanthos and Perge, before turning toward the eastern Mediterranean coastwhere—according to Plutarch—he dispatched 110,000 of his Persian enemy at theBattle of Issus. Calling at Alexandretta (Iskenderun), the city founded to commemo-rate that victory, we visit fascinating Antioch, capital of the Seleucid Empire, the suc-cessor state to Alexander’s Persian territories.

In Egypt, we will replicate one of Alexander’s most famous adventures—his pilgrimage,through the trackless wastes of the desert, to the Temple of Amun at Siwa, where hewas confirmed as the son of Zeus by the temple’s oracle. Though dangerous and desti-tute of water, the way was made safe for the Macedonian soldiers by heavy rains and theguidance of ravens. We will also visit the great Pyramids and the ruins of Memphis, andin Alexandria, explore the great city founded by the 25-year-old Alexander in 332 B.C.

On our journey, we will be joined by alumni from Harvard and Yale universities, as wellas travelers from the United States Naval Academy. This is an epic voyage, filled withpossibilities for breathtaking sightseeing, fascinating conversations, and exciting histor-ical discovery. We are immensely pleased to be undertaking it aboard the 114-guest, all-suite Corinthian II, which features elegant accommodations, public areas perfect formeeting like-minded traveling companions, and impeccable service. We stronglyencourage you to place your reservation soon to avoid disappointment.

Sincerely,

An Honest Discussion About Fuel CostsIn the uncertain, often volatile oil market of late, it is difficult—ifnot impossible—to predict fuel costs over the long term, and, morespecifically, at the time of operation of this voyage. Our prices arebased upon the prevailing fuel rates at the time of brochure printing(usually nine months before departure). While we will do everythingpossible to maintain our prices, if the fuel rates increase significant-ly, it may be necessary to institute a fuel surcharge. If one is neces-sary, the total surcharge for your voyage will not exceed $180 perperson. Thank you for your understanding.
