Most scholars concur that July 20th (Loios)is ATG's day of birth. And having stated that, I shall announce it again . He's 2,359 years old on this date of 20 July, 2003.Kala GenEthlia, Alexandros Philippou Argiadis;

Suk san wan gurt khun Alexander(That's Thai for 'happy birthday Alexander'. Not that I'm Thai - I'm just writing from Bangkok.)

Sometime today, we should all light a candle, pour a drink into the earth, look at the stars in the night sky and think of our long-dead king - and also think of Hephaestion too.

In the year 356 BCE, the 6th of Loos, Alexander's bithday fell on the 19th of July.

Ha that's nice!!!

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I think he's 2,358, not 2,359, since you don't count the year 0; the timeline jumps from 1 BCE to 1 ACE.John

John... I think that once one gets to one's 2,000th birthday, adding or subtracting another year doesn't matter too much. (But you are right, if rather pedantic... )All the bestMarcus

[John.]

I think I was inspired by Tre - xxx? - above. July 19?John

HELLO THALESTRIS, DID YOU GO TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY! DID FATHER ALEXANDER MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT ATG? IF SO, PLEASE LET ME KNOW! HAPPY BIRTHDAY ATG! DIMITRIOS

[Thalestris]

Oh, yes ATG was eloquently commemorated!! You had to have been there to hear how supremely he was commemorated...I was beyond thrilled!!! ATG was included in the sermon surrounding "What happened on July 20th in history": (1) Elijah the Prophet remembered, (2) ATG's birthday, (3) the invasion of Crete, and (4)Men on the Moon. When ATG was discussed he was highly honored. Made my day!! Were you celebrating his birthday and could not make it that morning? I toasted a glass of wine to him, poured a little in the ground, and lifted the remaining to the stars. It was a great idea of Susan's, and I followed along with it.Cheers!Amazon Queen
