Alexander the Great!
1:11:04
Remember, bring me to Babylon as you promised.
1:11:08
I can only help you, for they know if they harm you,
1:11:11
..they will face my wrath, as Queen of Babylon.
1:11:16
It's a high ransom she charges
for nine months lodging in the womb.
1:11:20
Bring her, Alexander. It will give her such joy!
1:11:24
Joy?
1:11:26
..and on the cracked mirror of her dreams.
1:11:32
Stay with me tonight, Hephaistion.
1:11:41
I'll take my own bath. Thank you, Bagoas.
1:12:01
The generals question your obsession with Darius.
1:12:05
They say it was never meant for you to be King of Asia.
1:12:08
Naturally. They want only to return
to their homes, rich with gold.
1:12:12
But I've seen the future, Hephaistion!
I've seen it now a thousand times, on a thousand faces.
1:12:17
These people want, need change.
1:12:23
Aristotle was wrong about them.
1:12:26
How so?
1:12:27
Look at those we have conquered. They leave their dead unburied,
1:12:32
They smash their enemies skulls and drink
from it's dust, they mate in public,
1:12:37
What can they think, or sing or write, when none can read?
1:12:42
But as Alexander's army they can go
where they never thought possible!
1:12:46
They can soldier, work in the cities,
1:12:49
the Alexandrias, from Egypt to the outer ocean.
1:12:54
We can connect these lands, Hephaistion! And the people,
1:12:58
Some say these Alexandrias have become
extensions of Alexander himself,
