Back at UCLA I took a class about the history of the Peleponesian wars and the rise of the Hellenic world. One day the professor was discussing Alexandr's campaign, and he touched upon the day Alexander and his #1 companion visitied the tomb of 2 geat warrior companions who had falled in somewhere, maybe the siege of Troy
(It's been 18 years). The poignanat moment came where they bisited the tomb. In a aside, the pofessor staed, "Oh, and by the way, Alexander was the Bottom Boy". An interesting moment in class,. I don't know where he came by this "fact".
