This is a quiz I created, it's just for fun. Answer as yourself, and it will tell you which character from Alexander's story you most resemble.
If none of the answers is quite right for you, just pick the closest.
The character summaries at the end are deliberately generous, picking on each person's best qualities.

Evidently, given the result, the scientific basis of the questions needs looking at....

It would appear that I am much given to wine and "carousing" until well into the morning; am an ardent fan of Euripides and Homer and have a marked tendency to consider peoples, as yet free, who do not recognise me as their ruler as "in revolt" and in need of full military persecution.Semiramis wrote:And what was this apparently undesired result Paralus? Please do share... :P
None of which, aside from that last (I am seeing Euripides' Trojan Women in September), I'd disagree with.
Hence my questioning of the scientific basis of the quiz....

Hmm, not sure I agree with that, considering I came out as Cleitus!Fiona wrote: The character summaries at the end are deliberately generous, picking on each person's best qualities.

Oh, it turns out that I'm Roxane! Hmm... Isolated, proud, and not afraid to struggle. Plus I get to be the wife of the man I admire most 
I guess it's pretty good (if you overlook the fact that I kill Stateira and am eventually killed by Cassander). I can live with that.
Great quiz, Fiona! I've always wondered which Alexander character I was!
