And now our beloved king,
Philip in whose honor this game begin.
Xenus I told you...
King lives, Alexander,
son of philip, the most destined king.
A king now,you're king.
May the gods bless Alexander.
Alexander!!
Go.
How can you pay so shamelessly in public?
Because it was meant to be.
This is not how I wanted to become king.
No one blames you.
They blame me already, behind my back, in secret.
Slander is not power.
Shame is?
Who killed my father,
tell me, tell me or shall I put you on trial for his murder.
(name)
He had help,
Did you help him?
No, never, why, why would I?
so many wanted it, greeks, persian, men.
Your mad, a curse, you have unleashed furies you dont even know their power,
Ah now who is exagerating,
even if it was the wish of your heart.
That is a lie, he was my father, i loved him.
He was not your father, you owe no blood debt to that man.
You lie and lie and lie,
so many lies you spundle like a sorcerous confusing me.
Look at you, look at you,
you are everything that he was not,
He was coherced, you are fine,
He was a general, you are a King,
He could not rule himself, and you shall rule the world.
You are so cursed by the gods when you speak like this,
Such thick pride, and no mourning for your husband.
Mourn, what do you know of (...)
No Alexander, Zeus is your father,
Act like it.
But first I get to kill you,
you murdered me in my cradle,
you birthed me in a cycle of hate,
hate you are for those stronger than you,
Hate you have for men.
I taught you my heart Alexander
and by zeus and Einisis you grew beautiful,
Damn your sorcerous soul.
Your soul is mine Alexander.
No, no! you have taken from me everything i have ever loved.
Stop it, stop acting like a boy, your a king, act like one,
Parmenion is with us for once,
Execute atlas with out delay,
Then confiscate their lands and root out that family forever.
You really never can laugh you monster, you heart breaker.
How will you live out the year like this?
Have you learned nothing from Philip?
No from you mother.
The past.
What have I done, to make you hate me so?
One day, you will understand this,
that I have only you in my heart,
I know what you need,
now is the time,
The gods favor you,
great wealth, power, conquest,
All you desire, the world is yours,
take it.
Kiss/kids ???
He never saw his mother again.
And while he was away fighting the northern tribes,
Olympius had Philips new wife (name) and her infant son murdered,
By necessity he had her uncle Atilus executed.
India
Of course you have fears, we all have fears,
Because no one has ever gone this far before,
And now we are weeks from the encircling ocean,
our root home,
we will build a fleet of ships and sail all the way back down the nile to egypt,
And from Alexandria we shall be home within weeks,
and to be reunited with our loved ones,
to share our great treasures and tales of asia,
And to enjoy our unperishable glory to the ends of time.
Follow Alexander.
What? Silence?
We are with you Alexander.
(name) a hereo,
where are these great amazons of myth who dare to fight and kill men,
Where have they gone?
We will never leave you Alexander.
(name) who are these tribes ahead compared to those we have vanquished?
(name) Antigilus,
you break my heart, you men, afraid,
*crowd talking*
My king, (...) aint no belly aching,
I wont tolerate an end to my units,
I lost men, young ones never been with a woman,
some died of disease,
some were butchered and severed with the banks and ox's.
Some died good, some just didn't get no luck,
but they died.
40,000 I come over with 8 years ago,
And we march after you over 10,000 miles,
In the rain, and the sun, we fought for you,
some of us 50 battles with an end, that killed many of our (...).
And now when I look around,
How many of them faces do I see?
And now you want us to fight more of these crazy monkey tribes east of here,
we here talk of thousands of these elephant monsters,
there are a hundred more of us,
Carus, good carus,
who better than you to speak,
Most noble of men,
But you know there is no part of me without a scar or bone broken,
By sword, knife, stone, catapult and club,
I have shared every hardship with all of you.
And you have my king, and we love you for it.
But too many have died.
You have no children Alexander,
And we are just humble men we seek no disturbance with the gods,
All we wish for, is to see our children,
And our wives and our grandchildren one last time,
Before we join our brothers in the dark house they call hades.
Yes, you are right (name).
I have be negligent.
I should have sent you veterans home sooner,
and I will, The first of you shall be the servant shields,
And then every man who has served 7 years,
With full pensions from our treasury,
Respected, rich, loved,
you will be treated by your wives and children as hereos for the rest of your lives.
And a joy peaceful death,
But you dream (name),
your simplicity, long ended when you took persia (...) children.
How you thickened your holdings with plunder and jewels.
Because you have fallen in love with all the things in life that destroy men.
Do you not see?
And you as well as I know,
that as the year decline and the memories stale,
And all your great victories fade,
It will always be rememberd, you left your king in asia,
For I will go on with my agents.
To the jackals with ya Alexander...
*crowd talking*
I came for your bastard children, I have taken nothing for myself,
And all I am asking is for one more month.
I have taken my father and your father...
so go on,hand it to the barbarians for their courage.
I go east.
*crowd*
Who said that?
You will never make it back to macedonia.
You dispicable coward, come forth, make your accusations public.
Why, so you could have us killed, son of zeus.
You desecrate your father's memory.
Hide, hide in the smoke...
*alexander talking* he called me murderer,
I have no such blood on my hands.
After all I have done for you, you swine,you cowards, traitors,
Come on then, where are your daggers?
He dove on, south to the outer ocean.
In smashing the mutany and executing the ring leaders,
He did nothing to my mind, that any general in war time would have not done.
But clearly the army was divided,
that alexander was no longer loved by all.
They come, gather will strong as gods,
come over with your left, break hard with your right,
The air is rot, a waste of time.
Brook shields!
Battle positions!
(...) prepare your knives, follow me.
Come macedonians why do you hang back hurry.
*alexander gives orders* (...)
Our lives are in jepeordy, Veniegar ride to Farnicus to tell him we will charge to the center at once,
Alucis find a placing by the river so I can bring all cavalry to the center,
We must reached Creterus before it is too late.
To the center!!
Hold macedonians, ride, ride!!
(name)...NO!!!...(name)!!
The horses will not go, on foot then.
Come osiphilus.
It is only sun and shadow,
You and I together One last time Osiphilious,
There is another leveling plain to live with great courage,
And to die leaving another ever lasting failure,
come macedonians, why do you retreat, do you want to live forever?
In the name of Zeus attack!!!
The king is down.
To the king!!
It was the bloodiest of his battles,
Pure butchery, The end of all reason.
We would never be men again.
He lives!!!
Men of macedon, we are going home.
We are going home.
His life should have ended in India but that's myth,
In life, hericlies died of a poison shirt given in arab by his jealous wife,
Making his devotions to the gods at the end of the great journey,
Alexander bid the east farewell and marched his army directly west,
Across the great cadroshen desert, seeking the shortest route home to bablyon,
Til this day there is no accounting of how many died.
It was the worst blunder of his life,
And when he finally re-entered babylon after 6 years in the far east,
Alexander again seized the imagination of the world by taking 2 more wives.
Just last night,
Its the water your majesty, he mixed it with the wine.
But how can this be, Tiphis of india?
Oh I wouldn't tax yourself your majesty,
a few good nights rest will do it, but no wine, or...
Come doctor.
I feel better, soon I will be able.
We leave for arabia in the spring and i can't leave with out you.
Arabia,
You used to trust me like a shiek,
What if you wouldn't (...)
You were the only one who would never let me win,
The only one who has ever been honest with me,
You saved me from myself,
Please do not leave me Ephistian.
My Alexander,
I remember the old man who wants to be achilles and then out did him.
And you Petroplis, and then what happened?
Now is the myth only young men believe.
But how beautiful the myth it was.
Oh we reach we fall.
Oh Ephistias.
I worry for you with out me.
I am nothing without you,
Come fight Ephistian,
we will die together,
It is our destiny.
We will have children with our wives,
And our sons will play together as we once did,
a 1000 ships will launch from here Ephistian,
We will round arabia, and sail up the golf to egypt,
From there we will build a channel through the desert,
And add to the middle sea,
And then we will move on carthage, and that great island sicily,
They will pay large tribute,
After that, the roman tribe, good fighters, we will beat them.
And then explore the northern forests and add the pillars of hericlies to the western ocean,
And then one day, not 10 years from now,
babylon with its deep water harbor,
Be the center of the world, Alexandrias will grow,
Populations will mix and travel freely, asia and europe will come together,
And we will grow old Ephistian,
Looking at our balcony,
At this new world.
Ephistian, Ephistian.
*screams*
Where is this doctor?
I can't explain this your majesty, it is not possible. I swear by apollo...
Secure him, take him out now and execute him.
come away, come away.
Liars, liars, All of you,
get out, get out now!!
Be gone with you, get out, get out!!
Are you drunk again? Get out.
He's dead.
Who?
Many hated him, but I dont think any other would have dared.
Ephistian is dead?
Wait a minute.
Are you mad?
Taken from me all that I have ever known.
The fury is too tight, damn your miserable heart, baby!
Alexander I have your child.
Alexander, my husband, my king, we have a son.
My poor boiled fated son.
Never touch me again.
Noooooooo!!!
One last charm!
For the dog.
To my old friends.
And to the myths.
To the next door, ???
Yes come, come to babylon,
I await you, your only loving son.
Wait, wait, vultures,
wait, my son alexander...
please *crying* my son.
Alexander we beg you, tell us who,
who will rule this great empire for you?
*whispers* fear not....
Zeus is your father!
Alexander the army will divide,
satripus will revolt with out your orders,
please tell us who.
Babylon, Persia June 323 B.C.
In the 10th of june, a month short of his 33rd year,
Alexanders great heart finally gave out,
And as he vowed he joined Ephistian.
But in his short life he achieved with out doubt,
the mythic glory of his ancestor hercules and more,
His sacrifice was an early death, but in keeping to his side of the bargain,
I can not help but feel he conquered death as well.
Olympius's transgression in the murder of his father is to my mind a probability,
He's a burden,
Alexander was too in love with the glory for him to steal it,
But by blood and blood alone he was guilty.
Within hours we were fighting like jackals for his corpse,
Wars of the world had begun,
40 years off and on they endured,
Cassander in greece, crackelus and antigunus in western asia,
solucus and perdicus in the east, myself in egypt,
Until we divided his empire in 4 parts.
Cassander certainly proved his will to power,
And 7 years later he had olympius executed,
And within 12 years he achieved the complete destruction of Alexanders bloodline,
When he poisoned Roxana
Alexandria
and Alexander's 13 yr old son, the true aire to the empire.
But the truth is never simple,
and yet it is,
The truth is, we did kill him,
By silence we consented,
because, because we couldn't go on,
But by Aries did we had to look forward to,
but did we discard it in the end, like fighters,
After all this time to give away our wealth to asian sick offense we despised,
Mixing the races, harmony, pah,
How he talked of these things,
Or wasn't it really about alexander another population ready to obey him,
I never believed in his dream, none of us did.
That's the truth of his life,
The dream is exhaustis,
they must die before they kill us with their blasted dreams.
Carcas throw all that away,
it is old fools rubbish,
you shall write,
He died of fever and weakend condition.
Yes (name)
How he could have stayed home in macedonia and married the eastern family,
He would have died a celebrated man,
But this was not Alexander,
All his life he fought to free himself from fear,
And By this, and this alone he was made free,
The freest man i have ever known.
His strategy was one of increasing loneliness and
impatience with those who could not understand,
And if his desire to reconcile greek in barbarian ended in failure,
Huh, what failure?
His failure towered over other men's successes.
I have lived, I have lived long life (name)
But the glory and memory of man will always belong to the one's
who follow their (...) visions,
With the greatest of ease is the one
that I will call
makus Alexandrus,
The greatest Alexander of them all.
