ALEXANDER : THE OPIS MUTINY - GREATEST SPEECH OF ALL TIME
"With his base in Greece secure once more Alexander advanced towards the Persian heartlands seeking a final showdown with Darius. He recieved a letter from the persian king offering him a fortune in gold, his daughter in marriage and half his empire in exchange for peace, but Alexanders stunning victories all the oracles and acclimations had now convinced him that his destiny was to rule the entire world. He rejected the persian kings offer he didn't want half the Empire he was coming to take it all."
ALEXANDER WAS STRAIGHT. he had 3 wives and a son that was sacrificed at age 13 or 14 along with his mother roxana by the ambitious Cassander. sandn. @. g. r. s. want to denigrate Alexander for slaughtering millions of their ancestors and taking wives of their women. your modern freaks like to twist history by purposefully misinterpreting it. here is one account to prove this point - Philoxenus, the commander of his forces on the sea-board, wrote that there was with him a certain Theodorus, of Tarentum, who had two boys of surpassing beauty to sell, and enquired whether Alexander would buy them, Alexander was incensed, and yelled out many times to his friends, asking them what shameful thing Philoxenus had ever seen in him that he should spend his time in making such disgraceful proposals. And on Philoxenus himself he heaped much reproach in a letter, bidding him send Theodorus to perdition, merchandize and all.
another account - Philoxenus the governor of the coast-lands of Asia Minor, wrote to Alexander that there was in Ionia a youth, the like of whom for bloom and beauty did not exist, and inquired in his letter whether he should send the boy on to him. Alexander wrote bitterly in reply, ‘Vilest of men, what deed of this sort have you ever been privy to in my past that now you would flatter me with the offer of such pleasures?
Here is how Real Macedonian Greeks felt about the movie - A group of Greek lawyers are threatening to sue Warner Bros film studios and Oliver Stone, the director of the widely anticipated film Alexander, for suggesting Alexander the Great was bisexual.
The lawyers have already sent an extrajudicial note to the studio and director.
It demands that they include a reference in the title credits saying that the movie is a fictional tale and not based on official documents of the life of the Macedonian ruler.
"we are saying that the production company should make it clear to the audience that this film is pure fiction and not a true depiction of the life of Alexander," Yannis Varnakos, who spearheads the campaign, said.
Everyone associated with Alexander, from Stone to star Colin Farrell, insist the film is historically accurate.
They say it reflects the pagan mores of around 330 BC when the Macedonian king captured the world's mightiest empire, Persia, and pressed on to the ends of the Earth.
Mr Varnakos says he has gathered enough information regarding the content of the movie to suggest there are "inappropriate references".
"We have not seen the film but from the information we have already there are references to his alleged homosexuality, a fact that is in no historical document or archive on Alexander," he said.
"Either they make it clear that this is a work of fiction or we will take the case further."
The US Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation (GLAAD) says the film breaks new ground for a big budget epic because it shows Hephaestion "as the true love of Alexander's life."
A line from the film says: "Alexander was defeated only once - by Hephaestion's thighs."
This is not the first time Greeks have been angered by suggestions Alexander was homosexual and had affairs with young men.
Two years ago hundreds of northern Greeks from the province of Macedonia, where he was born, stormed an archaeological symposium after one speaker presented a paper on the homosexuality of Alexander.
Police were called in to evacuate the participants.
One of the greatest military leaders of all time, Alexander was never defeated in battle.
He conquered about 90 per cent of the then-known world before his mysterious death at the age of 32, building an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean to Afghanistan.
Mr Varnakaos says as Mr Stone has the right to freely express himself, the audience should have the right to know.
"We cannot come out and say that (former US) President John F Kennedy was a shooting guard for the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and so Warner cannot come out and say Alexander was gay," Mr Varnakos said.
