I have continued my investigation into Alexander the Great and have decided my essay question which will be:
How did Alexander the Great die?
I have found this part of Alexander The Great's life to be very interesting and information easy to come by, but i will have to look for first person information such of information from people who were there.
I have found this site to be very useful in my study of Alexander The Great http://www.isidore-of-seville.com/alexander/index.html
It not only has many links about Alexander's death but his whole life and it also gives primary sources which is what i need to answer my question for my essay.
I will begin my essay soon as i continue my research into Alexanders death after i have begun my first draft i will publish it and the rest of my research.
My first research into the death of Alexander has shown that there are many different theories into how he died. There are recounts by both Plutarch and Arrian. Plutarch recounts that he was struck down with fever but Arrian disputes that he could of possibly been poisoned.
I will continue my reseacrh and report back to everyone later.
