Sorry - I would have great fun being 'close' to Alexander. (Nothing 'special', just enjoying the company.)Regards -

Hey Nick, that's a great idea I would like to go back to June 323 to see if ATG was poisoned or died of the mosquito bite. if he were poisoned who, when, and why? I think we all would be shockingly suprised!All the best,George

Hmm, 4 days before and 3 days after Philip's wedding feast;
4 days before and 3 days after Philip's death;
the week before Hephaestion's death, and the the week after the fall of Tyre.
