"Alexander and the Mongols," by John Andrew Boyle, from Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, No. 2 (1979), pp. 123-136. "The association of Alexander the Great with the Mongols begins with the identification of the latter with the peoples of Gog and Magog. The evolution of this legend, which has its origin in the Book of Genesis, is curious in the extreme. In Genesis Magog is mentioned as one of the sons of Japhet, his name occurring between those of Gomer and Madai. Since Madai is clearly intended as the eponym of the Medes and Gomer has been located in Cappadocia and Phrygia it has been plausibly suggested that Magog at this stage corresponded to the terriory in between, i.e. the region immediately south of the Caucasus in Eastern and Northern Armenia."
