Re: Psych-analysis
I wish to comment upon your use of the term Pothos, or superhuman drive.You say that nobody knows where it came from. Is there any indication of his own recognition and acknowledgement of this enormous energy?I have just described an experience in which I could feel that same power that you appear t...

Re: Inexhaustible energy continued
Child of a dream:I enjoyed reading Manfredi's book as it is without gore and excessive violence, making it suitable for an adolescent in today's world.Primarily, this book gives the foundation to Alexander's childhood, placing the emphasis upon the importance and impact of Philip, the Greatest King ...

Inexhaustible energy continued
Finding that some editing has occurred, I do not want anyone to think that this testimony is anything but what it is, an experience.At any rate, getting a glimpse of the tunics worn by all the men without armor or helmet, and seeing the blonde (very light, lemony blonde curly hair, and bronze-toned ...

Re: Alexander:Child of Dreams by Manfredi
When I finish reading the entire trilogy I will be happy to write a review. I have just begun reading a book by Paul Doherty as well. Both Doherty's and Manfredi's are library books. Makes it convenient for me to read before I buy.

Re: Alexander:Child of Dreams by Manfredi
Thank you for this bio. I really appreciate it since a recent article in Gente magazine confirms something I suspect. The article is about a church in Bologna which depicts scenes from the Divine Comedy. I really value this post, and am most grateful to you.

Alexander:Child of Dreams by Manfredi
I am presently reading a very exciting fictional version of Alexander by Valerio Massimo Manfredi. Can anyone tell me about Manfredi? There is no author's background on the book, and I would like to know more about this wonderful author.

Re: Bucephalus and his shadow
Now I know why they gave me a computer for the visually impaired. If you could see this type, and it is on an enlarged screen, you would laugh out loud! I think I read your message or I would not be able to answer this. Something to do with re-entry for a fetus at the end of the movie, if I am corre...

Re: Bucephalus and his shadow
Thanks so much for that information. I just found an interesting joke today about why banks tie pens down or chain them while leaving their doors wide open. Made me think of your message.I will call it Apollo the Pen.My first grade teacher at Franklin School is a woman by name of Armstrong, and my t...

Re: Bucephalus and his shadow
Thanks for your message. I really like this system. Your remarks on re-entry are choice, and I appreciate the workhorse terminology.As you noted about the workhorse that blew up in space, that has been brought to my attention through the local news organization when one of the news anchors told a st...

Re: Bucephalus and his shadow
Thanks, Dean, for that, and I am very impressed about Bucephalus being a race horse. That is fascinating! I believe I did make a mistake about Broad Brush. I believe it was in the Kentucky Derby that he came in to show. I noticed his tail when he entered the gate, and as he was a happy horse, with t...

Bucephalus and his shadow
This is just an anecdote. Reading about Bucephalus reminds me of a Breeder's Cup in the 80's in which I traveled to San Juan Down in Farmington, New Mexico to see the race. I always remember that in that particular Breeder's Cup, the one in which a horse by the name of Broad Brush came in to show, o...

Re: Darius's Palace
Thanks. I found the most wonderful site on the web, The Orient Institute associated with the University of Chicago. There is a thumbnail sketch of the Palace of Darius. On the Alta Vista search engine at the top of the page, when Palace of Darius is used, I was able to find Persepolis and lots of ph...

Darius's Palace
Can anyone supply a good description of Darius's Palace. Or at least supply information where I can find information on the Palace. To what extent did this palace influence Alexander and successors?
