Alexandria
Alexandria (in
Greek, ; in
Coptic, , in
Arabic, , in
Egyptian Arabic, اسكندريه Eskendereyya), with a population of 3.5 to 5 million, is the second-largest city in
Egypt, and its largest seaport.Alexandria extends about 20 miles (32 km) along the coast of the
Mediterranean sea in north-central Egypt. It is home to the
Bibliotheca Alexandrina, the New
Library of Alexandria, and is an important industrial centre because of its
natural gas and
oil pipelines from
Suez.In ancient times, Alexandria was one of the most famous cities in the world. It was founded around 331 BC by
Alexander the Great, and remained
Egypt's capital for nearly a thousand years, until the Arabs conquered Egypt in 641 AD and set up a capital at
Fustat (later absorbed into
Cairo). Alexandria was known for the
Lighthouse of Alexandria (one of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World), the
Library of Alexandria (the largest library in the ancient world) and the
Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa (one of the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages). Ongoing
maritime archaeology in the harbour of Alexandria (which began in 1994) is revealing details of Alexandria both before the arrival of Alexander, when a city named
Rhakotis existed there, and during the
Ptolemaic dynasty.

Alexander Romance
The Alexander Romance is any of several collections of legends concerning the mythical exploits of
Alexander the Great. The earliest version is in
Greek, dating to the
3rd century. Several late manuscripts attribute the work to Alexander's court historian
Callisthenes, but the historical figure died before Alexander and couldn't have written a full account of his life. The unknown author is still sometimes called Pseudo-Callisthenes.
