    "Great Adventures Along the Silk Road" Lecture Series. From Macedon to Ai Khanum: Alexander and Early Greek Contact with the Silk Route. Jeremy McInerney, Davidson Kennedy Professor, Department of Classics, examines the campaigns of Alexander the Great from a new perspective. What happened when the Greeks came in contact with the great trade network called the Silk Route? It seems that Alexander and his Successors wanted to acquire vast new territories-empires, in fact-but in time the importance of trade would come to outweigh the territorial ambitions of Greek dynasties.
