I meant from history:) And there my fav is Philotas (after Alexander, of course)- well, no doubt, I wouldn't be happy to know him by person (although- who knows:)?) Last- I have done my course project on him (i'm doing my MA in history). As concerns movie- I'm sure Stone has not chosen best actors:...

As concerns somatophylakos- could there be any place where at least some of Philip's bodyguards has been mentioned? Ok, by exception of Pausanias- although I doubt him- after reading previous posts:) A question that is most difficult to answer. We do not have the literary corpus for Philip that we ...

The schools here concentrate on WWI and WWII and barely mention Vietnam or Desert Storm. . We have the same problem here- WWII is the main subject in history in all schools- from elementary up to University... I am history student myself, so I find it quite irritating... I am one of two in my year,...

Of the top of my head I think that may be the only source, they were called the Maedoi and he founded a settlement Alexandropolis to celebrate the victory, something which may not have endeared him to his father. Plutarch is the source for most of the childhood stories though based on other authors...

Hello! I am sorry if this has been discused, but I can't find by searching forum. I would like to know- what will be the best source for this event (at the age of 16, when he was left as regent) (best of all- ancient) Plutarch mentioned it very shortly (at least in my translation (Latvian)). Thank y...

Hello, Companions! I am quite surprised about one thing - maybe I didn't know that... Yesterday I watched some game ( Who wants to be a millionare) and there was a question regarding ATG.

Hello, Companions! Just wanted to know if there somewhere is available information on the Philip's bodyguards? How many from Alexander's bodyguards were his as well? (have heard of Leonnatus and Perdiccas, but were there some else?)

what concerns the title Captain- maybe You can have previous answer to my post (officers and generals) helpful. "Basilikous".... imho it could been as Polysperchon is considering he as the king already...

Thanks! This information helped me a lot!

Hi, Companions! Wanted to wish a happy Newe year!
And a question- what was Greek terms used for generals and officers? I don't think they were called generals....

Info from Alexander: Brian Blessed appeared on UK daytime TV and confirmed he plays Leonidas, who teaches the young Alexander how to fight, wrestle and generally act like a king. He also issued a challenge - it'll "make Gladiator look like Mickey Mouse". Info from http://www.darkhorizons.c...
