 History on Podium: Alexander and ‘the Interests of Historical Accuracy’: A Reply
Bosworth believes that there were two distinct occasions involving the mockery of proskynesis, once in 327 when either Leonnatus or Polyperchon were the culprits, and another in 323 when Cassander had newly arrived at the court.
