Surnames: Roxanne of Sogdiana
I am interested in the history of Sogdiana, and the Princess Roxanne, who became the wife of Alexander the Great.
What was the language she spoke? Was it Parsi?
What did she mean when she said she was not Persian but from Amazons? Where did the Amazons come from?
Does her Palace Fortress still exist?
Where was her mother from?
What does your history teach about her, and how does it feel about her marriage to Alexander?
So much is known about him, but so little of her. I blame that one the fact that history/ancestory took little notice of women as being important.
