HE ANSWERED ALEXANDER,
FOR THE LOVE OF MY KING DARIUS, AND MY PERSIA, EVEN MY LIFE I LAY DOWN.
ALEXANDER ADMIRED THIS IN AVESOS, AND SAID TO HIS FOUSATTA,
EAGER TO KILL HIM, HE WILL NOT BE HURT, SUCH LOYALITY I HAVE NOT

MESSAGE BACK TO DARIUS FOR ME . TELL DARIUS TO ACCEPT ME AND I WILL
LEAVE HIS KINGDOM UNTO HIM, HE MUST ACCEPT AND PAY ME TRIBUTE,
AND I WILL ALLOW HIM TO KEEP PERSIA UNDER MY RULE.

HAS LEFT TO SERVE MY ENEMY. I WILL WRITE TO PORUS OF THE INDUS
TO HELP ME. IN THE MEANTIME, ALEXANDER RESTED FOR THE NIGHT,
AND SAW THE PROPHET JEREMIAH IN HIS DREAMS,
TELLING HIM TO GO TO DARIUS CAMP IN DISGUISE, TO PUT FEAR IN
DARIUS HEART AND TO SEE HIS STRONGHOLDS.

No need to abuse the hospitality of this forum. If you have to post Alexander's romances, you can do it in one thread instead of pushing other interresting threads out of sight! Better yet, post the link once and get it over with.I can't speak for the others, but for me it's, at least, irritating.

I agree that posting the link once is indeed sufficient. There's nothing wrong with romance, but posting multiple threads about the same subject is a bit exaggerated.Jona

i agree, so if i post a message too long in error, dont post half and force me to post the other half.
in the future i will post web addresses, i did not think the romances ike people that seek knowledge.
