| | Alexander the Great - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Alexander was distraught and on his return to Babylon, he fell ill and died. | | | The murder of his friend Clitus, which Alexander deeply and immediately regretted, is often cited as a sign of his paranoia, as is his execution of Philotas and his general Parmenion for failure to pass along details of a plot against him. | | | Plutarch mentions an irate letter from Alexander to Darius, where Alexander blames Darius and Bagoas, his grand vizier, for his father's murder, stating that it was Darius who had been bragging with the Greek cities of how he managed to assassinate Philip. |

| | Alexander belonged to the Heroic age and saw the sword as a means to further righteousness but at the end of his career he seems to have mellowed and realised the futility of violence. | | | When Mazaeus tried to liberate Darius' mother Sisigambis she is said to have refused which also indicates that Mazaeus was seen as a traitor. | | | That is the rich nature of Alexander as a scholarly topic; there is always more to consider! |

| | The murder of Attalus after the assassination of Philip is not only presented as the first of Alexander's blood crimes, but as a necessary consequent of his upbringing, as abetted and encouraged by his amazing, monstrous mother. | | | Only Peter Cushing as Memnon gives us a spark of convincing opposition to Alexander's tyranny, and he refreshingly reminds us that not all Greeks responded to Alex's call for a "Panhellenic" crusade against Persia. | | | Darius is a mere cipher, not a convincing King and opponent. |

| | According to Michael Gelb, author of Body Learning: An Introduction to the Alexander Technique, Alexander himself had difficulty imposing new directions on his body, leading him to emphasize the quality of the steps used in the procedure rather than the ultimate goal. | | | From "applied common sense" to "the method for keeping the eye on the ball applied to life" tauntingly ephemeral definitions of the Alexander Technique abound. One the special preserve of musicians and actors, the concept is now gaining ground with a public in search of any relief from back pain, asthma, depression, and general tension. |
