Hi all: Can't blame di Laurentis for this move. What else can he do? Meanwhile, I went to the link that has bits of the Oliver Stone script -- they're intended for actors who want to audition for parts in the movie -- and ordered a couple to download... they're cheap! I got Hephaistion and Kleitos, ...

Hi all:Jan, I didn't understand this:"She... was using the number 300 which caught my attention. She kept saying Alexander, that it is Alexander. So more or less, she is responsible for my looking into Alexander."Please clarify?Love & peace,

Hi Nick et al:Suggestion: Don't allow any commercial posts except by arrangement, i.e. the poster has to request you privately at first and you will allow the post only if it's of sufficient interest to members.

...as I was saying, if he had not been raised a warrior, I think he would have expressed that urge in whatever he had been taught, arts, philosophy, or what-have-you...Love & peace,

Hi Amazon Queen et al:I think Alexander's greatest passion can be expressed simply as: transcendence.Arrian states it accurately if mundanely, saying that if Alexander had found no one else to compete with he would have competed with himself. (If it was just about outdoing his father, he'd have limi...

...Well, people of the time destroyed their own property for one reason only: as a sacrifice. Thais was talking revenge, but I suspect Alexander was most seized with the idea of offering the Palace up to the Gods as the biggest sacrifice ever -- in gratitude for his victories, and in seeking favour ...

Hi all:I think it's quite possible that most if not many of the reasons we're postulating here were factors for Alexander also; did he not often do things for multiple reasons? Here we are divided in our minds -- is it not plausible to think that he was too?My personal feeling is that he was undecid...

Hi all:I think this is an interesting exercise, but please, whoever does it, spare us from Freud, especially the Oedipus complex. I've studied Freud's life and work, and the only reason he came up with the Oedipus complex is that he was going to get drummed out of doctorhood for his original hypothe...

Hi all:Great idea, Luc...Registered users on this site already *are* a club, just by having registered. Sure it could be formalized with dues, etc., but the recorded body of people already exists, all having already shown themselves to be devoted Alexandrophiles by participating in the Forum, etc.It...

Hi Marcus et al:And yet there must have been some dealing between Alexander and the Jews, some reason for them to honour him, because 'Alexander' is the only foreign name that they made an official Jewish name. I have this from a Jewish friend who's up on her Jewish history.Perhaps Arrian, Curtius, ...
