As for the "mental disorder", Caratini says that his breaking up with reality indicates a typical psychotic personality and that thousand examples can be given: unimportant ones (like the characteristics of his personality), or dramatic ones (serious psychotic crises, after which the norm...

Hi,
Yep, this seems to make sense, and as Amyntoros says, is a great answer.
and so, as you say, the temperature would be in the hands of the ... beholder and have little to do with divine intervention.

Hello, it is often mentioned that, almost miraculously, the waters at the oasis are hot during the night and cold during the day but no one seems to write why. I checked out the page on the Pothos site on divininty where the Siwah oracle is detailed but no reason is given how the mechanism works. I ...

Hi Jas, Are we talking here and all out and out LOST scenario here or are we talking desert island discs and which babes you'd most like to go to the blue lagoon with? Well, if it is the latter, I would go for Beyonce for being an all out and out great entertainer,- Nigella for cooking me dinner nic...

Hello, This is for me one of the most interesting moments in the whole of the Alexander story. I mean here we have Philip- king of the hill, and his up and coming son together to "celebrate" another of his father's marriages. Olympias the scorned woman. Yet I don't suppose that she gave a ...

I don't understand the harm that it can cause talking about this subject when possibly discussing things in the open is in my opinion healthy. Are we going to get ...

Sikander said, Pothos has a reputation for its standard of debate; I have had people say "Pothos has set the bar higher.." I would like to see this continue. I think that this is absolutely true- on this forum I have found a wonderfully unique place where people's views are respected and d...

Feeling very cynical this morning, however - it won't make a huge amount of difference, because there will be people who won't ever look at it, and continue with their ill-informed opinions with no interest in rational argument and historical process. Maybe a lot of people wouldn't bother to check ...

Hello, I suppose that as far as homosexuality and Alexander the great is concerned we can say that people project a lot of their own agendas onto idols/famous people/etc. Bagoas and the "kiss in the theatre" after winning a dancing contest could be one of the few give away signs that he wa...

Hello, I have been meaning to answer this post a few times/ you know what it is like at Christmas. I also will be in England for the next few days and am currently sampling some of the lovely festive weather ie subzero temperatures. :lol: But anyway it is nice to see family and friends. I wish you a...

Hello, Just checking up on the forum and very pleased that the glitch has been sorted and that it is back up and running. Glad to see that my favorite forum is here again. For some reason I was just thinking that it is amazing when you think about it, what a tourist Alexander was. I mean what a life...
