Hi Dimitrios -In our "Religion" section I have written a "Divinity" paragraph that answers just your question: it contains a synopsis of the accounts we have, the questions that Alexander posed, and the "answers" of the Oracle - according to our Ancient sources.http://www.pothos.org/alexander.asp?paraID=94Regards -

DEAR NICK,
THANK YOU FOR THE INFO. I FOUND IT VERY INTERESTING BUT I MUST MENTION THAT THERE ARE SOME DIRECT LINKS TO ALEXANDER WHICH ARE OMMITED FROM THE SITE SUCH AS; THE LOCALS STILL STILL WEAR HATS SIMILAR TO MACEDONIAN HELMETS WITH MACEDONIAN STARS ON THEM.THANKS AGAIN.DIMITRIOS

Hi Dimitrios,I was in Siwa a month ago, and I have to say, I'm afraid, that I didn't see any of the locals wearing anything resembling Macedonian helmets, or the Macedonian star. Maybe they only wear this gear on particular occasions, but certainly they weren't doing so at Easter! :-)All the bestMarcus
