I have the same opinion. Hephaistion appears weak-willed and practically gutless. Not much supportive of Alexander's either. There is a scene (I think it is 2nd episode) where Parmenion asks Hephaistion to go to Alexander and convince him to change his opinion, and Hephaistion just does that.Sweetmemory41 wrote: ↑Sun Feb 04, 2024 6:54 pm
The show’s Hephaestion was a bit too tame for me. While his portrayal as the BFF, counselor, and diplomat was fairly good, I can’t see the show’s Hephaestion torturing Philotas, crossing swords with Craterus, or fighting with Eumenes.
Oh yes, I remember that part! It was something along the lines of a 'vision quest', or a journey into one's own subconscious (at least that's the idea I got from it). Glad that you pointed it outsystem1988 wrote: ↑Sat Feb 10, 2024 10:15 am mavra 22 :This is the scene in the second episode,where Alexander and his mother are in the desert with a tree in the background.In the series ''Porus'', this scene is an entire episode that lasts a long time,here a little
One of the actors in Netflix’s Alexander indicated that the Hephaestion was the ‘heart and soul’ of the show. I took this to mean that Hephaestion’s character was deliberately portrayed ‘as soft’ to make Alexander appear more human.delos13 wrote: ↑Fri Feb 09, 2024 9:22 pmI have the same opinion.
