Re: New historical fiction on Alexander and friends
Greetings Sikander: I also enjoyed reading ‘Aniketos.’ I thought it was an easier read than the first book, which was made difficult by an unusually harsh portrayal of both Philip and Olympias.

The History Channel’s ‘Alexander the Great’ in ‘Ancient Empires’
The History Channel’s recently debuted (September 4, 2023) a new episode on Alexander the Great as part of its three-episode show titled ‘Ancient Empires.’ While it has a few historical errors and a dark Alexander/blonde Hephaestion, it is interesting to watch.

Which language did Jesus speak?–some remarks of a Semitist. Bulletin of the John Rylands Library, 53(1), 9-29. Gleaves, G. S. (2015). Did J...

Re: Amphipolis II
Thank you, System1988! I find Katerina Peristeri’s unshakable belief/assertion that it is Hephaestion’s burial place somewhat convincing. Even if it is not, the other candidates for it — Olympias, Roxana, and Alexander IV — are all believable enough. Given below is the link to Peristeri’s March 2017...

Dr. Heckel’s Dissertation on Alexander’s Marshals
https://open.library.ubc.ca/media/download/pdf/831/1.0094524/1 Dr. Heckel, in his dissertation, focuses on the following four marshals of Alexander the Great - Hephaistion, Leonnatos, Krateros, and Perdikkas.
