He was often portrayed in ways that linked him to the gods...I have read of a painting of him holding a lightning bolt and was hoping to find it (or a recreation)

So far what I've found is this page... if you scroll down to where you see some old coins, it shows him holding a lightning bolt... hope this helps!

I just found this on wikipedia: "Apelles' paintings (none of which survive) included:

Alexander wielding a thunderbolt, one of the many he did of both Alexander and his father Philip"
