The Song of Alexander (known also as the Syriac Alexander Poem or the Metrical Homily) is a 6th or 7th century legend about Alexander the Great in the Syriac literature tradition. Because the author is not known, but was long mistakenly believed to be Jacob of Serugh (451–521), scholars now simply name the author "Pseudo-Jacob".
