ALEXANDERS DREAM

Of all the heroes from antiquity to our present day none compare with Alexander, the greatest general of his race and of all time. He emerged as the golden haired wonder boy while yet a lad in the care of Aristotle and early showed his immense powers of intellect and command. By the time he was twenty he had succeeded his father Philip II and was established as an inspired and fearless commander who proceeded to plot the course of history and create the first order of World Empire.

The great power inherent in Alexander's personality was other than of human inheritance and only few such as Kleopatra his sister knew the secret of his greatness. Hephaiston his soul-friend knew and understood all, but his mother Olympias knew most about the fire from heaven, it was no secret to her, she knew the lions pelt on her son's shoulders was a symbol of God-power, the mantle of greatness Heracles had blessed him with at Algai.

Philip hated Olympias for initiating their son into the mysteries of Dionysus; he called her the Witch of Epirus and she accused him of being a peasant without understanding, and of not being Alexander's father. But on the night of the feast of Dionysus, Hephaiston found Alexander by the alter in a trance which lasted three days and when he emerged from the presence of the Gods he knew that a previous bequest at the oracle of Zeus had been granted.

The Fates had shown Alexander he was indeed descended from Heracles and both the owl and eagle would remain with him always as tokens of the wisdom and power that should fashion his crown and create his title, Alexander the Great.
- DANIEL

Greatest general and conquerer of antiquity. His mother Olympias was a sorcerer and introduced Alexander to the mysteries of Dionysus. Did Alexander sell his soul to the devil to become great? There is a question of homosexuality and the power of blood - a vampirish simile. During his thirteen year rule he expends himself in an effort to conquer the world and dies prematurely at age 33 (323 B.C.) in Babylon.
