	The Life and Successes of Alexander the Great
		Cleitus it was who had saved Alexander's life many years before, at the Battle of Granicus, leading a fierce charge to relieve the king, who suddenly found himself surrounded by the enemy with no way out.
		Cleitus it was who had stood by him through all the battles and all the conquests and all the "questionable" behavior.
		But Cleitus it was one night who not only defended Parmenio, Alexander's trusted friend whom the king now considered a traitor who got what he deserved, but also criticized the king himself for thinking himself a god and adopting the ways of the Persian people.

	Cleitus the Black - WCD (Wiki Classical Dictionary) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		At the beginning of Alexander’s campaign Cleitus was already an experienced officer, the commander of the royal squadron of the Companions (the agema).
		All of these reasons might be true, and are not mutually exclusive; and Cleitus clearly did his job well enough, playing a key role in the subjugation of the seven cities at the Jaxartes (A 4.2.5-6).
		Whatever the truth of the matter, the killing of Cleitus was unforgivable, and Alexander appears to have felt true remorse, especially because of his familial link with the dead man through his nurse, Cleitus’ sister.

		Sithon, the father of Pallene, wanted to punish his daughter, but she was rescued from his hands by Aphrodite, and after Sithon's death she married Cleitus, and the country of Pallene derived its name from her.
		They agree, however, in stating, that Cleitus became exasperated at a comparison which was instituted between Alexander and Philip, much to the disparagement of the latter, and also at supposing that his own services and those of his contemporaries were depreciated as compared with the exploits of younger men.
		Alexander, being then released, seized a spear, and sprung to the door; and Cleitus, who was returning in equal fury to brave his anger, met him, and fell dead beneath his weapon.

	Histories/ Alexander the Great
		Cleitus was the brother of Alexander's old nurse and one of the two commanders of the Companion Cavalry.
		Cleitus went on to say that Alexander was carried to success by his Macedonian troops through no contribution of his (Alexander's) own, and that Philip had been a much greater man than Alexander.
		Cleitus fell dead at Alexander's feet and the king would have killed himself with the same spear if he had not been restrained from doing so by his officers and friends.

		Cleitus, son of Dropidas, known as ‘The Black’, was one of the ‘old guard’ Macedonians, who had fought with distinction in many campaigns under Philip (QC 8.1.20).
		In that first battle Cleitus was riding close to Alexander in the charge, which suggests that he was at the head of the agema.
		When Alexander retorts with a cutting remark, Cleitus reminds him that he saved his life at the Granicus; then accuses him of disowning Philip with his insistence that he is the son of Ammon.

	Unexpected Comfort
		Cleitus began to maneuver Hephaestion to his own rooms, hoping to deposit him there in the care of the servants and have another drink or two himself before going to bed.
		Cleitus growled as cool hands slid up and down his shaft, oiling it from root to tip, pushing the foreskin back and making sure to oil it all over.
		Cleitus moved so that Hephaestion would be caught in the friction as they both moved together.

		For years he had side-stepped Cleitus' clumsy advances; now, it seemed, he would have to plan carefully if he were to once again avoid the man without completely offending him.
		Cleitus' fingers were digging into the flesh of his hips, roughly pulling his cheeks apart to open wide the chosen orifice.
		Cleitus' thrusts were now less unwelcome, his energy contagious.

	Riding The Black Stallion
		Cleitus’ hand circled the King’s thick arousal and he stroked him slowly, whispering obscenities in a voice made more hoarse than usual by his own passion.
		Cleitus balanced on one elbow so he could reach his hand beneath himself to handle his own cock as Philip pounded into him.
		Cleitus shuddered around Philip, causing him to cry out in pleasure as he filled his friend with his seed.

	The Black Cleitus Affair
		The murder of Cleitus is usually seen as incidental to the history of Alexander, but I would posit that it represents a pivotal moment which clearly illustrates the motives for Alexander’s apparent change of behavior after the death of Darius and his assumption of the tiara of The King Of Kings.
		This was, no doubt, something of an honor, but Cleitus’ power would be greatly reduced and the old soldier saw the move for what it was.
		The murder of Cleitus marked the turning point in the life of Alexander and revealed the choice he had made.

		Cleitus' forces, however, held the heights surrounding the city, which were commanding and also thickly wooded, so that they could attack the Macedonians, if they made the assault, from all sides.
		Alexander proceeded to the assault; on which the enemy sacrificed three boys and three girls and three fl rams, and then made a rush to intercept the Macedonians; but when the Macedonians drew near, they deserted the strong positions they had occupied, and the newly sacrificed victims were found still lying there.
		Either way, it looks as if the gods simply weren't with Cleitus and his troops that day, in spite of the sacrifices.

	Alexander the Great's Murder of Cleitus the Black - Associated Content
		Perhaps it was the assassination of Parmenio that finally led Cleitus the Black to speak out in defense of the old Macedonian ways and to try and put Alexander in his place, or possibly it was Alexander's shuffling of old guard commanders to lesser outposts.
		Whatever the case, when Alexander murdered Cleitus the Black, the concerns of the old guard came to their culmination, and their roles in the Macedonian army were made explicitly clear.
		Plutarch points out that Cleitus was a "man of great bravery" and that his name "the Black" was used to distinguish him from Cleitus the White, an infantry commander in the Macedonian army (41).

		Philotas, son of Parmenio, is put to death on suspicion of having aided (or at least not opposed) a plot against Alexander, and Parmenio is then killed, in order to prevent him taking revenge for his son's death.
		Alexander kills Cleitus in a drunken rage, and then has the philosopher-historian Callisthenes locked up for being insufficiently servile (and because he was suspected of aiding still another plot).

		While when sober I was a voice of reason and fair mediator, drunken I left a path of carnage, having taken the lives of friends and allies through my years in power.
		My greatest regret was none other than killing Cleitus, the trusted commander who ironically saved my life at Granicus.
		Cleitus was offended that some Persians were given so much clout in my new monarchy, so he argued the point with me. Throughout the confusion and ruckus that ensued, he was slain.
