Greetings Marcus and Amyntoros, I hope someone will provide a review! I am trying to avoid sneaking home early <laughing>. But $100.00?!!? Is that correct? I think we only paid the equivalent of about 25 US dollars.. I thought it was about twelve-thirteen pounds in the UK? If no one else has read it...

Greetings, I am wondering if anyone has read The Curse of Ezekiel Yet? it is a story about the siege of Tyre. I have a copy waiting at home for me, but am not sure when I will be back to read it.. can anyone give a brief synopsis? http://www.saudigazette.com.sa/index.cfm?method=home.regcon&conte...

Greetings Marcus,

Enjoyed your photos. Nice capture on the Silk Road Memorial and the Akhal Tekes- clearly showed their unique traits, even the "razor withers" <chuckling>. When do we get to read more of your adventures?

Greetings, While I understand the desire for sub-forums, I would like us to consider the potential need for increased moderation. I can see, especially under "Greek/Macedonian" history, a possible plethora of problems involving modern history, the Makedonians versus Macedonians debate, mod...

Greetings, What is the purpose fo the lecture? Is it for a history class? A political class? The type of class might determine the focus of your presentation. I have found with some general classes with young people, it helps to introduce them to the overall accomplishment of Alexander (the scope of...

Greetings All, I like the suggestion of additional topics; the idea of illustrating various articles with photos and videos (?) would be excellent, especially if they *could* be connected to specific elements in each article.. Additional articles on various characters would also be a nice touch, jus...

Greetings Marcus,

As far as I know, I simply wrote what I was thinking based on what I found to be all too true of history all too often.. you may use as you will. Glad to have given you some amusement <smile>

Greetings Paralus, "Questions, questions Sikander. " <smiling> Naturally.. "You are correct though: modern perceptions cloud our view. This is unavoidable. Hence my caveat on the Greek. It does seem clear though that a relatively young age is meant (13-14yrs)" It would seem so (d...

Greetings Paralus and Marcus, Thank you for bringing up Arrian. I was trying to recall the passages that might have led to someone considering an older age for the pages; Curtius stood out for that. This discussion is another good example of the difficulties that arise when modern values or percepti...

Greetings, I think the assumption of youth comes from Curtius referencing bringing "adult sons" to the court to serve.. which is then up to interpretation being any of the following: being ofan age to fight (itself open to interpretation), between the ages of 14-18, between 16-18, etc.. Is...

Thank you for posting this.

Greetings Efthasios, "That probably because they want to say that gay people can also be military leaders, warriors, or anything else that traditionally is considered masculine. " "Masculinity" has nothing to do with being a gay male. Masculinity (like femininity) is culturally d...

Greetings Eschatos, "The idea to find a gay icon, in a historical figure that we can't define "gay" nowday (because the totally different sexuality of 2000 years ago), risks to make misunderstandings on the real Alexander behaviour" I agree it can lead to misinterpretation of Ale...
