	Alexander the Great and his Gay Loves - World History of Male Love
		Alexander was to embody those values for the rest of his brief but volcanic life, and even to stretch the accepted boundaries of ancient male love by living out his great romance not in a pederastic relationship, but one that resembles modern gay love: with a man his own age, his childhood friend Hephaestion.
		Alexander's favor to Bagoas can also be seen in his later appointment of Bagoas as one of the trierarchs, men of substance who oversaw and funded the construction of the navy for the journey homeward.

	How ‘Great’ Was Alexander? - (The Circle of Ancient Iranian Studies - CAIS)©
		The aims of this paper are to trace some reasons for questioning the greatness of Alexander as is reflected in his epithet, and to add potential evidence dealing with the attitude of the Macedonians, Alexander’s own people, in their king’s absence.
		Alexander’s ‘mandate’ or prime directive, as inherited from his father Philip II and endorsed by the League of Corinth, was to pursue his father’s plan of punishing the Persians for their sacrilegious acts of 150 years ago and to ‘liberate’ (whatever that meant) the Greek cities of Asia Minor.
		Alexander’s great military victories over his Persian and Indian foes which have so long occupied a place in popular folklore and been much admired throughout the centuries are very likely to have been embellished and nothing like the popular conceptions of them.

	Philip_2 of Macedon
		Isokrates, in his letter to Philip II, exhorts that, "men of high purpose and exceptional gifts ought not to undertake enterprises which any of the common run might carry out with success."1 Philip is a man "of high purpose" who accomplished things that no one of the "common run" was capable of.
		For instance Alexander's greatest obstacle in conquering Persia might have been Memnon of Rhodes, a Greek mercenary general.9 Macedonia and Philip were at a disadvantage to their neighbors, such as Thrace and Illyria, who could afford to hire soldiers while they could not.
		Such was the condition of the army that Philip II left behind when he was brutally stabbed to death by one of his bodyguards, Pausanias, during the spring of 336 B.C. It seems likely to me that Peter Green is correct in assigning some of the blame to Alexander and Olympias.
