Two capitals included in the iconographical programme developed in the first chapel in the Cathedral at Santiago de Compostela (1075-1088) illustrate Alexander's military expedition to India. One of them shows his ascencsion to Heaven and the other represents the meeting between Alexnader's army and the mysterious "ladies form the waters". Those women seduce the warriors leading them to their death. In both episodes it we note the intention to illustrate passages from Alexander's roman. As we are speaking of the eleventh century, this would be the first time its was represented in romanesque European sculpture.
