Abstract

The Alexander Romance of Pseudo-Callisthenes )sixth century) is another account of Alexander's life and exploitation, and just like other accounts, has been tampered with and distorted by chroniclers and narrators. In this story, Alexander finds a fairyland, which is the same as the woman's utopia or Horom (Barda city), and contrary to the other narrations, he gets into a fight with the sovereign of the women, captures her and then marries her. The present study, within the framework of the narrative semantics and semiotics, first explores the syntax narratives, and then analyzes the actsants and acteurs based on their modale and figurative identities. The questions, in this respect, raised are: 1. what kind of modale and thematic identities did women wish in their ideal world (utopia)? 2. How do semantic identities experience inaccessible areas of action (regime actionnel)? and 3. How do women experience action areas (regime actionnel) which are prohibited culturally? Women's utopia is centered on the identity of "wanting" and the defiance of "must". Such an identity contrasts with the cultural precepts of the community of the sixth century and Alexander's semantic identity as a Prophet; therefore, the narrator, who narrates the conflict between Alexander and Irakit creates semantic Isotopies through his interpretive work, while opposing logic. The contrast between the two continues in form of the conspiracy of the Harem's women. The value system of the text admonishes following women because it recognizes women as the agent. Women of Harem, whose identities are completely the opposite of Irakit, set the values through conspiracy, and without the awareness of other acteurs. Contrary to syntaxe narratives, the narrator denies the role of women and Alexander's deceit.
