A response to a challenge issued at atgstories. It's still rough around the edges, and it will no doubt undergo some changes in the future - I have already tweaked it up a little, but we all know these things have a life of their own. For now though, this is what I've got. Feel free to check it out

Very nice. The younger Alexander always comes across as so, well, cute. And Aristotle needs to show up in more stories, so bravo for including him. The excerpts Alexander chooses are also nice: hardly romantic but highly appropriate.

I need to join atgstories so I can comment there.

I think that the code of the Sacred Band and the heroics of the 300 at Thermopylae would have been the sorts of things that Alexander would have admired greatly as a boy ... it fits in with his love for Homer and grand gestures. Exactly what Aristotle would have made of it all is another thing, but I don't doubt that there were times he wondered what he had got himself into.

Thanks for the response, and please feel free to join the community.

I expect young Alexander was quite a challenge, actually. Aristotle would have worked for his pay when it came to dealing with him, I think. And maybe gone through a lot of good papyrus. ;)
