Upon what basis are we creating here a two-tiered structure of information, in which some data is declared certain and other data informed guesses? Haiduc 00:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Requesting rewrite

Having read through this article once, I actually feel physically nauseated. This is homosexualist sophistry of the very worst kind. Can we have someone who *isn't* on a deranged self-indulgent agenda to rewrite this in line with more balanced historical teaching? Yes, that means representing at least some of the myriad counterarguments to address anything stated by pro-gay lobby favourite Robin Lane Fox.

Why do we need this article

Many get deleted but we speak about his perosnal relationships...wow, whatever!

Reference: Caratini?

Ref #11 says "Alexandre le Grand", Roger Caratini, p.170. From what I can tell, Roger Caratini never wrote a book called "Alexandre le Grand". He wrote several, but not that one. AB Bosworth, however, did write a book by that title. Also, both authors seem to be French, though the part of the article being sourced is in English. Can someone clarify? -- SatyrTN (talk | contribs) 05:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Of course he wrote it, and it is one of the most famous biographies on Alexander for historians in the south of Europe. Just a search on Amazon to confirm it would have sufficed. The fact that it is not translated into English doesn't mean that the book does not exist. Why not searching info. before questioning references? --Bucephala 21:39, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Alexander was a very handsome man and liked to ejectulate while watching britney spears 'Gimme gimme more video' other thaan that Alexander the Great was a homosexual.

I had seen this line here: "Alexander was a very handsome man and liked to ejectulate while watching britney spears 'Gimme gimme more video' other thaan that Alexander the Great was a homosexual." I don't think it should be included in the article since it talks about someone from the past. I just thought of informing the people that edits this page.Thanks!Valefor1023 21:30, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

It is obviously vandalism, you could have deleted it, as I have done. Greetings --Bucephala 21:32, 1 December 2007 (UTC)

Sorry

Sorry about that. I don't know how much and how to delete the content in this article since I'm kindda new here. I was reading this article and saw that line. I don't wanna ruin the article. Anyways, thanks for re-editing of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valefor1023 (talk • contribs) 21:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Stateira?

I'm currently reading Valerio Massimos semi-fictional trilogy on Alexander the Great. It seems to put quite a lot of focus on his marriage to Stateira (daughter of Darius III) yet she isn't included in this article. Actually, none of the articles I've found regarding Alexander seem to give much notice to Stateira, and the article about Stateira II is just a stub.

Is her involvment with Alexander not as significant as I thought it was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.239.66.41 (talk) 09:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Barsine

I haven't edited for awhile, but I came across this and have to point out that Heracles was certainly mentioned shortly after Alexander's death in the succession struggle. Nearchus, Barsine's son-in-law and so brother in law to Heracles put his name forward as a candidate for the kingship, but it was rejected. I'll check back in a few days, with the proper cite.

Dodgy disclaimer

How can you say "Many stories are told by later historians on the subject of Alexander's love affairs, but as the original sources are lost to us, it is difficult to tell fact from fiction", implying, falsely, that somehow the sources on his relationships are less credible than the sources on his entire life?! They are one and the same. Haiduc (talk) 23:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
