Hi folks,I've added a piece on Harpalus to the "Main Characters" section.All the bestMarcus

Thanks, Marcus.

Hi Marcus ---Today I created a new section, minor characters, so that our main character page doesn't overflow. I appreciate discussions about who's main and who's minor. Thanks for all your input. I hope this change doesn't influence your amazing production of well researched new articles. Incredible.P.S. And I am thinking about removing some pothos articles that are now really past their prime. Any suggestions?Regards ---Nick

Hi Nick,My pleasure - it's fun to do!I agree about having a separate section. I was very aware that some I was writing about were hardly 'major' (Thalestris, for example). Deciding who goes where could be difficult ... but I'm sure we can work it out.All the bestMarcus

Hi Andrew,Yep, Harpalus was left on his own with too much power and too much money to play around with ... a bit like the ill-deserving lottery winners nowadays!Whether he ate stool or not ... lovely though the expression is, I don't think the sources mention any enforced diet before he was done away with. :-)All the bestMarcus

Harpalu Tip of The IcebergHail Andrew as you said one of many. And when our guy came back he puit as many as he found to the sword. Its many time been said and hes been vilified for these purges as we all know.The stories he was meglamanic, Losing his mind, High on booze, These guys were executed for high treason as Andrew states.Harpaluis was excused once and still did it again maybe Alexander learned by excusing Harpalus the once and then He did it again that he wouldnt excuse them again.Then the worse people were the Demostheneses taking handouts and bribes throughout Alexanders life even running away with Harpalus loot.Its obvious that out of sight and out of mind.Whlist the cat was away these mice would play.Only the cat came back. The cat wasnt back for long until the mice poisoned him.The whole situation and feelings at that time make it absolutely obvious Alexander was murdered.Its as clear as dayKenny
