Interesting
4By 3sand 4sRead many accounts Alexander, both non-fiction and fiction. This was a condensed version of what was an epic in the attempt to establish a rulership of the known world and beyond. He ended up being a demented alcoholic faced with his own mortality which he couldn't accept. History portrays his mother as a villain which she probably was and he may have inherited her schizophrenia from her. Little is known about Hephaeston aside from being a close companion of Alexander. A good primer this is.
