Alexander the Great: The Making Of A Myth is the latest exhibition curated by the British Library, and leverages upon some surprising sources to bring the stories of an emperor to life. Chief among them, the Assassin's Creed video game series.
The tomb of Alexander the Great has leapt from a video game into the British Library. Pic: British Library/UbisoftFrom a Disney comic book starring Scrooge McDuck to a never-ending reel of scenes from India's most expensive TV series, the British Library's latest exhibition is eclectic to say the least.
His legend, though, knew no such geographical limits. Whether the son of a serpent magician , or a brave warrior who stared down a mighty dragon, George-style, mythical stories starring Alexander began during his lifetime and have survived throughout the years since. A new interactive version has been created for the library by students from visual effects school Escape Studios, the producer of young talent which has worked on films including Star Wars and games like Assassin's Creed.
The exhibition - unafraid to jump from ancient manuscripts to films and even anime - culminates with a detailed reconstruction of the tomb from the video game Assassin's Creed Origins, scaled up and projected on to the walls. From Constantinople to Athens, each choice has required a world larger in scope - yet still greater in detail - than any that came before.
