Alexander the Great is lowered into the sea in a glass submersible in this 15th century German drawing. The legends of Alexander the Great’s adventures grew more and more fantastic over time, embellished both in Europe and the Middle East. The stories told that he followed up on Aristotle’s investigations of the ocean by taking himself, a dog, a cat, and a chicken underwater.
