| Дата поступления 2022.02.13 | Аннотация. Анализируются передаваемые Геродотом свидетельства об Александре I Филэллине. «История» Геродота остаётся источником наибольшего числа свидетельств о правлении этого македонского монарха. Античный историк – единственный автор, который передаёт детальное описание политики Александра во времена греко-персидских войн. Устанавливаются источники, которыми мог пользоваться Геродот. На основе «Истории» Геродота и македонской нумизматики рассматривается вопрос о том, как работала пропаганда Александра и на кого она была направлена. |

| On the Question of the Political Propaganda of Alexander I of Macedon | |

| Received 2022.02.13 | Abstract. The greatest amount of evidence about the reign of Alexander I of Macedon is contained in the work of Herodotus. The ancient historian is the only author who gives a detailed description of Alexander’s policy during the Greco-Persian wars. This article is dedicated to several questions. First of all, the author discusses the question of what sources Herodotus could use for his stories about the Macedonian king. The author raises the question of the possible personal stay of Herodotus in Macedonia and comes to the conclusion that the most presumable point of view that Herodotus visited Macedonia in the middle of the 5th century BC. The ancient author could have the possibility to speak directly with Alexander and get detailed description of his policy during the Greco-Persian wars. An equally important question remains the question of what Alexander’s propaganda was. The paper examines the evidence of Herodotus about Alexander, the direct speeches of the Macedonian king, as well as the numismatics of Alexander’s time. The general idea of Alexander’s speeches boils down to the assertion that the Macedonians have Greek origin. Among other things, the first mention of the legend about the Greek origin of Argead dynasty appears in the work of Herodotus. In the time of Alexander, iconography with Greek symbols appears on Macedonian coins. The author comes to the conclusion that Alexander’s propaganda was aimed at proving the Greek origin of the Macedonians and improving relations with the Greek world. To a greater extent, propaganda was directed precisely at the citizens of Athens, since Macedonia continued to be an important economic partner of this policy. |
