Alexander and Siwa

[Ambrosia]

Hello everyone, I have two quick questons when Alexander was visiting Siwa, who accomponied him on the journey? Also what questions did he ask the oracle?

Wouldn't we all like to know what he asked!

Most of your answers can be found in the "religion" section of pothos.orgNick

One of his main questions was whether all the members who had plotted the assassination of Philip II had been punished.

IGÇÖve just posted all 776 pages of Oskar SeyffertGÇÖs Dictionary of Classical Antiquities. ItGÇÖs in a new section on my site where I place full scans of classical works, with uncorrected OCR underneath the scans.The Dictionary of Classical Antiquity is a wonderful late 19th century classical dictionary. Unfortunately for Pothos, it neglects both history and geography. So, Alexander does NOT get an entry, nor the places he went. It is, however, quite full on mythology, social history, literature and literary authors. So, it has all the Alexander historians, and good general articles that should be of interest.IGÇÖve also posted a few other works. In the near future IGÇÖm going to have some real red meat for Pothos, but the DCA is probably the best bet for now. (Incidentally, I donGÇÖt have a copy of Berve; if you do, IGÇÖll pay for shipping and send you it back in a week with a bottle of wine.)Anyway, check it out, and let me know what you think of the project!LINKS:
