		Bagoas was indeed a real person -- history will attest to that much -- and although it is difficult to know exactly what his relationship with Alexander was, it is pretty safe to assume that they were lovers.
		As this story is told by Bagoas in the first-person, the reader receives much insight into his life from the age of ten when he is castrated and sold into slavery up into his early adult years with Alexander.
		She shows Bagoas and Alexander both as two young men who are desperately searching for love in their lives and her renderings of Bagoas as a gay adolescent are especially uncanny and realistic.

	Poisoning of Alexander ( Part 2 ) presented in History section
		Bagoas and Moeris knew this and despite the great care taken by Alexander to ensure food supplies, his enemies nearly succeeded in thwarting his plans by conniving with his Satraps.
		But the young king let it be known that he was offended at Bagoas’ previous outrageous behaviour and was prepared to punish the author of these crimes, so Bagoas anticipated his intentions and killed Arses and his children also while he was still in the third year of his reign.
		Bagoas was the poison-man par excellence and his meeting with Alexander a few days before his death clearly points to conspiracy.

		Bagoas is born into an aristocratic family; the turmoil following the death of King Ochos claims his father, mother and sisters, and he himself is castrated and sold at the age of 10.
		Bagoas is keenly intelligent, charming, courtly, sarcastic, prey to jealousy and possessiveness when it comes to his lover; his growing maturity merely adds to the pain he experiences as the affair and Alexander's conquests progress.
		Bagoas is, after all, only sixteen when the affair starts; he's prey to insecurity about his place in Alexander's heart, and his two antagonists are Hephaistion, Alexander's lifelong love, and Roxane, the legendary beauty who becomes Alexander's wife.

		After his death, Bagoas, adrift and destitute, is rescued by a rebel satrap suing for pardon, brought as a peace-offering to Alexander, and taken into his household.
		It is a tale rich in historical insight and detail, especially in Bagoas' view of Alexander's growing sympathy with his Persian subjects, a markedly different view from that of the victorious Macedonians, jealous of their status as master race.
		In a bold shift of narrator and style, Mary Renault finishes here her story of Alexander, leaving us with an incomparable picture of the conqueror and his world, and a picture of human involvement and affection that is rare in the art of fiction about the past.

		Bagoas is frozen with cold disbelief, seeing what he holds dear led away by a kiss.

	Untitled Document
		Arses was a son of the Persian king Artaxerxes III Ochus (358-338), and the only one who survived the poisoning of the royal family by the powerful eunuch Bagoas.
		This happened in the summer of 336, and it is probable that Bagoas killed everyone to make sure that Arses, who seems to have been some sort of a puppet king, became the new ruler of the Persian empire.
		The assassination caused great upheavals in the Persian empire and it is certain that Bagoas and Artaxerxes IV were unable to get a firm grasp on the situation.
