Images of ancient Pella, anyone????
Does anyone have any information, schematics, know of any websites, layouts, etc., of ancient Pella as it would have been around Alexander's time, roughly? I had one at one time and lost it.

Re: Alexander's Discretion & Hephaistion
Hello, I saw this subject and it's is one I have spent a lot of time with myself due to a novel I'm resarchingon both Alexander and Hefestion.

Re: something for everyone.
I saw your post and it interested me. I came early to Alexander through my father. When I was 4 he took me to see an exhibit of ancient Greek and Egyptian art at the now destroyed De Young Museum in San Francisco.

Hello to all
Hi, Some of you may already know me by the name I use when writing as Lysis. I'm asking for some honest comments, etc. regarding my writing. I am a writer, and have been writing since I was 4, and my first experiment on an Alexander novel was clearly a failure. I have written a lot of stories as Lys...

Re: NEWLY PUBLISHED NOVEL ON ALEXANDER & HEPHAISTION
To Jan, Your comments regarding my post are of course your own concern. However, I would refrain from calling someone a panderer or accuse them of selling themselves out unless you have read any of their work and thus have a basis for doing so. Are you at all familair with any of my stories? Yes, at...

Re: NEWLY PUBLISHED NOVEL ON ALEXANDER & HEPHAISTION
Hello Scott, Thank you for taking the time to respond to my post. It is really appreciated. I respect your work a lot, I have't read Men of Bronze, your Memnon inspired some of my own work on Alexander. Yes, it's very difficult to really know how to approach Alexander in this modern world, and my at...
