congrats on the new position, id always thought u were already the moderator in here :S lol good luck with ur work, im sure u'll do great things :)

i dont think i phrased correctly what i intend to do, while i do aim to assess the reliability of the contemporary historians (mainly through the critique of more modern scholars) the bigger aim of my work is to assess the usefullness of the scources through a comparison of the narrative they...

well i dont do ancient so im not to worried bout crossing over into that syllabus, and im pretty confident that the ancient syllabus doesnt adress historiography and the other stuff extension focuses on? that sounds pretty interesting, i was thinking about including sumthing on each authors...

i think it would b a mistake to ignore curtius, his gives an interesting insight into how romans felt about alexander at the time, particularly due to the imperial government. wat im thinking of doin it assesing wat the authors wrote in terms of when they wrote and how this affected the end...

this is the topic im doing, if u dont know, the Alexander historians (at least the ancient ones) provide very conflicting stories. im adressing how this effects us in attempting to write a modern history of alexander and how we can establish which of the histories are more reliable. do u think...

its a dry subject to start off with, we were warned of this before we started and a few of our class ppl hav dropped it since, thers alot of reading involved and if ur not really keen on the subject i suggest not doin it because it can become a burden, especially if u do other subjects with...

the thing about wats at the end of the universe is that there is absolutely no way to prove anything. true its been shown that the universe is expanding, but, i think, due to the speed of light being a constant and not being able to exceed the constant speed its impossible to even reach the ends...
