According to July 12th Yahoo News the Mel Gibson production company's proposed adaptation of Mary Renault's "Fire From Heaven" and "The Persian Boy" is terminated. I don't know the status of the *movie* set for production in India(October). Different Subject: I found a creative t-shirt on eBay with the obverse side of shirt reading "Alexander the Great World Tour" and it has a colored image of the Porus Battle, listing the places Alex conquered. The shirt is similar to a concert-styled shirt. Yeah, I purchased it

I think it's sad news about the miniseries - I reckon they might have done a pretty good job of it.I've heard about these T-shirts, and I have to admit that I would definitely purchase one.I'll have to do a bit of searching!All the bestMarcus

I've got two Alexander t-shirts from Greece. One has the Opis speech on it. The other is from the famous mosaic of Alexander's battle with Darius.

The "concert ATG" shirts I mentioned can be purchased from eBay...just type in the great one's name in the search, and a fusillade of items will appear, then scroll down until you come upon "Concert Shirts" or something similar to that. They are $10 and quite comfortable!! I get lots of comments when I wear it . Also, in case anyone out there is into orthodox icons, there is an icon of Saint Sisoes the Ascetic who is beholding the opened tombed of ATG...it is very moody!

When I was in Delphi, I browsed around the shops at night, and found this excellent T-shirt with Alexander the Great poised in battle with a spear in one hand, and the Macedonian round shield in the other...of course I bougth it, and wear it frequently...never get any comments on it though, even though he is in the buff.

Hmmm, I see that there are obviously a number of such gewgaws available, and I have managed never to have seen any of them. It sounds as if my (not very big) T-shirt collection might start growing...All the best (and with a spot of envy for those who have Alexander T-shirts while I don't)Marcus

In the 'buff', you say Nick? Hmmm, perhaps you should have purchased several and placed them on eBay, and folks such as myself (ATG votary)could buy them. I must say, I am *jealous* . Wear it in pride, fellow ATG disciple .
