don't use the word gay or bi

I hate this topic since so many peope want to deny Alexander's sexuality and so many gays want to claim him as one of their own. The bottom line is different culture, different world. The Greeks has more tolerance and a completely different view on sexuality than boxing people into categories of hom...

Re: Alexander the Great's Chief Eunuch

I'm re-reading "The Persian Boy" by Mary Renault, told from the POV of Boages the eunuch. It's a wonderful and sad novel....if you're a guy and you can read past the scene where the little boy has his testicles cut off...you'lll find that it's a great read. There's a lot of great moments w...

don't use the word gay

You shouldn't use the words, gay homosexual, bi-sexual or pedophile in regards to the Ancient Greeks because those words are connotative of our modern views on sexuality, the Greeks had another culture with a more tolerant view of sexuality...As far as Alexander being a drunk, again that's the wrong...

Re: Writing Alex. T. Great Report.

You could write how he was born to estranged parents but discovered himself and became his own man. About his military accomplishments, write about his victories against much larger armies. Also on his life, you could write about how his life may be viewed as life imitating art given his lifelong ob...

Re: Shameful!

It is shameful, but I think you could stump Ms.
Jolie by asking her many things about Alexander
or even about modern events, like what year did
World War II start or end?

Rank other ancient generals

Chime in with your rank of other ancient
generals! I think Alexander is without peer,
Hannibal is a distant second with Caesar in
third place. Agreement, dissent, discussion

The Watchmen

Has anyone here ever read "The Watchmen", a graphic novel by Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons? It's great and I read it every year about this time, a personal tradition, better than x-mas. It's not your typical comic book, it's a realistic take on super heroes, as if Oliver Stone wrote Justice ...

study Alexander more!

Melanie: You shouldn't limit your study of Alexander(or anything else) to what you might learn in school. And I'm a teacher. I know studying the ancient world isn't considered fun or cool by most teens but while you're on your holdiay break you should try reading a novel by Mary Renault, "Fire ...
