PANEL DISCUSSION, MARCH 13: 324/3 BCE

Final plans and death Much has been made of Alexander's final plans, and what steps he might have taken after his return from the Indian campaign. Assess the last year of Alexander's life, and in light of what we know about his past actions, evaluate what the sources tell us about his final plans. Did he truly intend to conquer other lands, and if so, how realistic were his intentions? Also, his death has been portrayed in as romantic a light as the rest of his life. Do his last moments deserve such treatment? How do the sources assess his final plans and demise?
