Is it possible by public transport? It is possible. See the Pothos travel guide: http://www.pothos.org/content/index.php?page=travel---alexander-s-footsteps#greece. I went there last year by public transport and found it fairly convenient. Just take a good and recent travel guide with you and take ...

I am going to Greece too:) Just by luck, got ticket and now... Well, this will be in July- but I still can't believe that!
I am planning if possible to visit Pella and/or Vergina. Is it possible by public transport?

This could and this could not be a proof as well... This could be false as well.
Sorry, for me answering

Thank you, Fiona! I will try to get my hands on this book!

IMHO- this could be any of his Companions. Moreover- has it been prooved that this statue is from Alexander's reign? Or is it later- some Hellenistic art or even Roman period? Has some analysis been made?

Does anybody have this book? Is it worth its money? I consider ordering it from amazon.com, so I would be glad if someone could give me feedback...

Ultimately, can we truly know what was going through Alexander's cranium? No, I don't believe so. Very little survives from his time... none of it in its original form. That which has reached across the millenia to us is what Alexander or related parties wanted us to think about him. And more- I th...

Not so very modern, but-

Innocent, positive Alexander- sometimes even naive.

Merry Christmas and a very Happy New year to all!

Well, I am happy to hear that at least somewhere in the world situation is improving! We in Latvia still sink in World War II- even our history before this, is almost nothing...
Alexander- some good work O. Stone made here, but again- a lot of peolpe thinks that the film is almost documentary, so....

yesterday I watched National Geographic series Troy and their portraying of Greeks seemed to me a little bit confusing. maybe someone could help me with clarifying how greek helmets in Mycenian age looked like? For me the ones used in films more looked like V century BC...

Interestingly - and pointedly - there is not one whit of a mention of Hammond's "sons of the hypaspists" (of Alexander - the Silver Shields) that he claims are the hypaspists mentioned at Paraetecene and Gabiene. Wonder why they weren't invited? Too young to drink perhaps... Was it possib...

Got 8/10... not bad... although I was a little angry for not displaying right answers...

:lol: Laughing at the way Alexander is portrayed in this book, nobody would want to claim to have been him, would they? Yes, I have finally finished reading the book, and became used to the way Bucephalus dominates the other horse's with his horse dung, and believe that probably Kathryn Roberts may...

but Philotas was one of those educated with Aristotle and there is Pixodarus affair as well... I doubt Philip would involve in such situation someone who is close friend of Amyntas. So- I am not sure, he was closer friend to Amynta than Alexander. I don't think we have any evidence that Philotas wa...
