“Alexander’s conquests did not end with Persia’s borders — they extended into the delicate territories of the human heart. He married Stateira, a Persian princess, for politics, but kissed the dancer Bagoas for pleasure, and mourned his companion Hephaestion with the grief of a man who knew no empire could fill such a loss. At twenty, he was an emperor; at thirty-two, a corpse. His last requests — to let physicians carry his coffin, scatter his gold on the road, and leave his hands visible — were less a will and more a final performance. The message? That even the richest conqueror leaves life exactly as he entered it: empty-handed, but, in his case, fabulously remembered.”
