PjJoJw Sikandar, Alexander. Two princes of this name are
much celebrated in the East, (both distinguished by the title of
..♦I*.- . If
Zu'l karnayn. Having two horns (ofthe world), im
plying that they conquered the globe from east to west; the first
supposed to be one of the most ancient kings; the other Alexan
der of Macedon, whom they call also Bin ^ilikus (son of Philip),
and Ruml (the Grecian). Some Persian historians say, however,
that he was not the son of Philip, but of Darab (Darius), who
having married a daughter of Philip, sent her back, though
pregnant, because he disliked her breath; that being delivered
of Alexander at her father’s court, Philip educated him as his
son, and, bequeathing him his crown with the secret of his birth,
he laid claim to the throne of Persia, then filled by his younger
brother Darius (by another mother), and supporting his preten
sions with a powerful army, defeated him, and reigned as the
tenth king of the Kayanian dynasty; dividing his empire on his
death-bed amongst twenty-four of his principal commanders, the
chief of whom they call Lagos (Ptolemy). The TarikhI Mun-
takhab relates, however, that he distributed his dominions in his
life-time among the sons of those princes whom he had conquered,
on the condition of their paying him homage as lord paramount,
and furnishing certain quotas of troops; which terms they punc-»
tually complied with till his death, when each became indepen
dent in his feudal principality. (If there are circumstances in
these Eastern details inconsistent with truth, let it be remem
bered that they are not more visionary than the legendary im
probable fictions which swell the Greek historians). The con
quests of Alexander are celebrated in many Persian, Arabic, and
Turkish histories, romances, and poems, under the titles of Sikan-
dar-namah (the book of Alexander), Ayin-i Iskandarl (the mirror
of Alexander), Baharistan (the mansion of the spring), &c.
