This is absolutely amazing! It made my life.

and finally came alexander and made it. If we have enough "dreamers" who would dare to make an attempt to change the world someone eventually will succeed.

about alcibiades u r right, altho he also made a mistake when he joined sparta(i mean getting spartan queen pregnant while the king is in an expedition)

[dimalex8]

they make it. for example take alexander the great.

What is unknown about alexander is that before him there were 4 more "alexanders" who tried to do what he did. Agesilaus just before he started the campaign against persians was called back to sparta cause of the war with athens. Jason of Pharae king of Thessaly(one of the most underated in history) was assasinated again before he launched his campaign against persia(note he was the strongest greek king, not philip that time), philip the same

@dimalex8 That is because they didn't accept his greatness. Like most talented and honest nobility he was plotted against by those untalented idiots who coveted his greatness. No matter where he went he was betrayed and hunted down by his childhood friend. People like alcibiades and JFK never make it. They are always killed off.

excellent job guys, I laughed quite a bit at some scenes! Really helped me understand the symposium a lot better :)

[anberlinfan101]

I thought it was great! Good job guys!

[dimalex8]

ahh alcibiades, the pride of athens and the finest greek ever born(according to all ancient sources) if he wouldnt be so eager to prove it he would be remembered as the best. He remained undefeated tho, the only one fighting with all 3 sides(general of athenians, spartans then persians and finally athenians again)

[andrewzot]
