Dear TinoThank you for your message. My posting was aimed in general, and not to anyone in particular, certainly not to you; it was just a general reminder.
As for the terms used, I know that these are sensitive, and I'll bear that in mind - thanks for reminding me.RegardsSusan

Dear YassarThank you very much for your kind wishes; who knows what I'll find, indeed !RegardsSusan

Dear Dr PalThank you very much for these points. I'll certainly raise them when I'm there; I'm visiting an old author & story-teller, Sam Wickramasinghe, (http://kataragama.org/sages/ramana_sam.htm) who will be interested to hear of them.Best regardsSusan

Thank you very much for your good wishes - when I return I'll write up what I've discovered of Alexander Susan

Dear Bodan Thank you for your message. There is indeed such a document, as I have a copy of it. As to its history, that is what we have been trying to understand. Let me say, though, that I am interested in it from the aspect of the Alexander legend - I've spent years looking at tales of Alexander i...

The Greek / Macedonian debate is out-of-bounds on this forum, becuase it nearly always ends up in the same way. Discussing Ancient Macedonia is fine, but discussing modern Macedonia, modern Macedonians and Greeks nearly always brings in a modern political agenda, so we try to keep this forum free of...

Dear TajWelcome to the forum, and thank you very much for posting. While I appreciate that effort is more usefully spent on helping your community to survive, it would be a great loss if your tribal traditions are lost. Are there any plans to record your tribal community's memories and traditions ? ...

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 SmittyThanks for your message. I've now got a domain name for the site; it's http://www.alexander-sources.org . I'm hoping to overhaul it before next week, when I'm off to Sri Lanka looking for Alexander Romance evidence. Thanks for the Plutarch link !Susan

Hi DaveIt's good to see you on the forum again . I enjoyed the article very much - written with Australian directness, I thought. Thanks for posting it !RegardsSusan

Congratulations !
I look forward to reading my copy.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

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

KennyI'm surprised that you can profess admiration for Alexander and yet ignore the Iliad - Alexander's admiration for it was so profound, it must have been a strong influence upon him and his character.Susan

Dear JonaThis is very interesting, and I hope that you can find more; you're working so hard on these extra sources - I congratulate youSusan
