As for the terms used, I know that these are sensitive, and I'll bear that in mind - thanks for reminding me.RegardsSusan

Re: Some Points for you Susan

Re: It all started in India?
Well, I don't think there's much direct truth in it, but next week I'm going to Sri Lanka to visit someone who's spent years studying the connections between Skanda & Alexander - so maybe I'll know more when I return.Susan

Hi ThalestrisI can't help you, I'm afraid, but it's great so see you on Pothos again. Judging by your questions, I think that you must be writing a book or poem ? RegardsSusan

Re: Achilles Achievements
KennyWhat you decide to read or not read is entirely up to you - you've obviously got your own view of Alexander that you don't want to sully by reading the sources; fair enough but don't criticise those that take a different view.Susan
