YAY!!!!!! Thanks Too Old ...Oh wow, first comment. YAY!!!!!! Thanks Too Old Guy. Now you make me really want to crack open and read book I have on classical history called 'The Ancient Historians.' Thanks! It moves to top of heap of unread books.<br /><br />Actually found at Wal-Mart a better depeiction of Alexander the Great on DVD. The 1956 Richard Burton movie. Still does not cover everything. But in under 140 minutes covers everything from his birth, his first battle beside Phillip against the Athenians, all the plotting, and finally his death as he uttered the words on whom shall inherit his empire, 'the strongest.' In other words it does a better job than Oliver Stone does in over three hours.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13364196938058625069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9198020.post-1101427368423569732004-11-25T18:02:00.000-06:002004-11-25T18:02:00.000-06:00Heyyyyy Anna . YoooHoo. It is I , Too Old Guy from...Heyyyyy Anna . YoooHoo. It is I , Too Old Guy from Jens' page. Good looking site here. I have a comment on the Stone Movie of Alexander the Great.I say Pshaw on Hollywood and all their works. Historical accuracy isn't in their bloodline. I spit on their products from the Deerhunter onward. All propaganda, says I. Now, myself, I was always partial to Lycurgus the Spartan as depicted by Plutarchs lives. This boy established a system of government that lasted for a while. And if you say "Yah but", I will clap my hands over my ears and go "La-la-la-la-la".<br /> Too Old GuyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
