Hello all,I've been gone for a while, so I wish everyone a happy new year!I do have a question, Recently on the Discovery Channel (I think) there was this special on Alexander's death, and it concluded that Alexander was "accidently" killed by the ingesting higher amounts of hellebore, to ...

I liked the music, although at times the themes were repetitive within themselves. I am annoyed that there were scores on the film that was not on the CD, in particular the theme when Alexander decides to go home, and the soldier put him on the horse - that is a very beautiful theme. In addition, th...

Well, happy birthday Alexander! How will each of us celebrate his birthday this year??
I for one will drink a toast.cheers all!Luc

Is the version you got the director's cut version, or the original theatrical release?

I just read a post on the Zimmerman forum, that Oliver Stone is cutting the "love" scenes between Hephaistion and Alexander. The line "stay with me tonight" is already off, and Oliver Stone apparently decided to portray them as just friends, as Achilles and Patroclus was portraye...

I'm not so sure that exercise and the ability of infections to heal has much to do with one another. Although it's not the same thing, I just read that the medical profession suggests that women who are overcoming breast cancer, should start exercising, because a study suggests that the healing proc...

Hey all,I read something, which I believe was in "the soul of battle" by Victor Davis Hanson, in which he said that the only reason Alexander stands out today is because of the "business" mind set. He also said that Alexander was not mourned, and he used Epaminondas as a referenc...

I stick by what I said before, that Colin Farrell did an amazing job playing Alexander, considering what he was given, which was not much. Richard Burton was BLAH. I have no other words to describe him. Plus I hate the fact that Hephaistion was pretty much obliterated from the film. Got to give it t...

Amyntoros has a good point, Alexander was gone for far too long, and there is no way that he would have gone on without tents, whereas, the local armies in Greece could have done without it, while fighting near home. Where is there any mention of the soldiers taking local homes? I'm aware that at ti...

Hey all,I was reading a couple of pages of Anderson's Military theory and practice in the age of Xenophon, and I came across some questions.One of the things he mentions is that camp sites for Spartans, and Athenian soldiers more often than not were made under temporary provisions, basically brushes...

Okay, apparently Loeb Classics does publish the works on Hippocrates, although he probably didn't write any of it.

Hey all!Thanks for the well wishes!The texts I was talking about on Hipocrates, I found at http://classics.mit.edu/Hippocrates/ancimed.1.1.htmlI just wanted to know if anyone has seen these as a published book, available to be purchased. If anyone is inclined, I suggest reading the piece on curing h...

I'm lying here with the flu for what feels like forever! I was wondering, on that day that Alexander jumped into the Cygnus, I recall reading that what Philip gave him made him go into convulsions, and then he got better. Is there any source that says what it was that Philip gave him? And does anyon...

Wow, who would have thought that that program would be right about that?

:0)
I like it, and I'll think about it, considering I only have so much time to present it. I was thinking of succumbing to my greed and buying the corset from Museum Replicas, and just bringing that thing in as an item. Marcus...alcohol...I like that idea!!! With everyone drunk, I'll get an A.
