Armenian is among the dozens of languages in which the Romance of Alexander has been translated. Because in antiquity Armenians felt at home in both the west and the east, the Greek world of the Mediterranean and the Persian Empire of the Near East, they took a special and early interest in the life and deeds of Alexander the Great. The translation of the Alexander Romance took place after nearly five centuries of Armenian Arsacide rule ended and Armenia, already Christianized for more than a century, accepted political vassalage under the Sasanian rulers of Iran while connected to the great universal religion of the Byzantine and Latin west.
