Alexander and his sister

Post by hiphys »

Plutarch (Moralia 818 b) says:

"When Alexander heard his sister [perhaps Cleopatra] made love to a handsome young man he didn't get angry, but said she too might enjoy royalty".

The same Plutarch, who lived four century later, blamed him for his compliance.
