Some say it was for alliance with the tribes.
1:24:13
Others, the desire for a successor,
1:24:17
And yet others said Alexander truly fell in love.
1:24:24
Who Roxane really was,
1:24:25
I doubt that any of us ever saw further than
the pools of those black eyes.

1:24:33
Alexander. Special for you!
1:24:43
On this glorious occasion,
1:24:47
I toast this great army that has given so much,
1:24:50
And in honor of them, those of you who
set out with us seven long years ago,

1:24:54
I pronounce, all your debts paid forthwith from the royal treasury.
1:25:05
And in honor of my bride,
1:25:08
My beautiful bride,
1:25:11
We recognize the many women who
shared the long hard road with us,

1:25:15
I grant them doweries befitting a proper marriage.
1:25:23
But what about our boys?
1:25:25
And lastly, lastly the gods demand no less of us,
1:25:30
That your children with these women be
given a proper greek education,

1:25:34
and military training,
1:25:36
Under our protection,
1:25:38
..so as to be the new soldiers of our kingdom in Asia.
