Lol. I just knew you'd ask that. No, Never.
Have a Great Holiday!

Yay! Thanks, I will.

... and would you fancy taking a role of my historical consultant please? Not to worry for the moment though, my WIP is still on Chapter 6, and I haven't even started on HIM. I am scared to even mention a hoof of his slave's donkey.

Thank you, Paralus, for your great help and time you invested in this. I am still reading and will be re-reading your insightful posts. I very much wonder if, not to hijack Alexander's Forum, I could perhaps pm you occasionally with questions, as I have many - Thucydides being quite difficult to und...

Darn, I should have started a book on Lysander instead :) Thank you so much, Paralus and Marcus. I will be mulling on this incessantly. Gah, that period is so difficult to embrace and analyse in one sweep, I know I'll be spending years on this. I've ordered books you've all recommended. Thank you. &...

And what if Alcibiades was suffering from BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), but just didn't know it.

As well as anyone else’s who stumbles on this thread.

Marcus, I heartily agree. Pressfield is a darling man, but that book was rather ... experimental.

Thanks, Semiramis. I read all of Renault's books. She is like a goddess to me.

Oooh, that's wonderful. Just what I was looking for. Thanks so much for this! Great help.

Ah, thanks for this, agesilaos!

Darn, Thucydides too, obviously.

This forum has no "edit" button?

Hi all, So sorry for OT, but this forum is the best ever. I’ve been lurking around here for many years, and I am Alexander’s fan and eternal slave. But I am writing a book on Alcibiades for some reason :shock: , and I’ve been wondering if you, knowledgeable people that you are, could direct me to a ...
