Did anyone read about his death? Did he died as a hero or simply as a chiefcommander?
Is his death a little bit surrealistic? As we know now That he died in a battle we cannot be objective... But what is important? the fact that he died or his military conquests?
I think the most important is that now he's ALIVE. Yes, his legends rules.
The fact is that his legends had survey during centuries, and that will not stop.
He leaves us curious... about what he done, what he got, The aim, the power That even George W Bush havent so...
Can we elucide a mystery that this greek create let"s try....
As we know now That he died in a battle we cannot be objective...
I am perplexed by this. Alexander didn't die in battle; he died at Babylon of illness (or poison, if you're in that camp). He was no where near a battlefield. Where are you getting that he died in battle?
I always beleived that he died at pothos during his last battle; it doesn't change that some greeks politicans of the city hate him because he was powerfull regarding his empire.
But why do they poison him? and who poison him?
