<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 8249855, member: 91461&quot;]Love you too my man.</p><p>Kind of surprised by your asuredness. History is much more fluid. It depends on who you rely on.</p><p>You are incorrect on a couple of accounts but I enjoy the passion and writing. </p><p>The first thing you pointed out as inaccuracy is very accurate due to the simple fact that</p><p>1- The Argead line was perpetuated by the father. From Alexander I in 498 BCE, and before, all the way down to Alexander the IV.</p><p>NO WOMAN EVER PERPETUATED THE LINE. </p><p>I have never heard nor read what you are countering with, anywhere.</p><p>Him marrying Alexander&#039;s sister doesn&#039;t perpetuate the line, it is just gross. </p><p>The Argead dynasty ended with Alexander IV. Everyone I&#039;ve ever read agrees with this, period. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1453137[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>2- As is admitted by the, technically, it&#039;s nit picking. But I&#039;ll humor you and make the comparison to how we all agree Nero killed his mother and Caracalla killed his brother (hey it rhymes) even if they had other hands do the deed. </p><p>3- I agree. It&#039;s a hard pill to swallow, but the official story is sweaty at best. </p><p>And Alexander&#039;s symptoms are very consistent with poisoning. He didn&#039;t die right away but lingered.</p><p>4- Sources please. </p><p>5- Again, a bit like#2, this is in the wording. None of Lysimachos, Seleukos nor Kassander threw the spears in Antigonus that killed the massive man, but all three working together, historically, have taken the credit. </p><p>6- I&#039;ll give you a pass on this one because I was taken aback reading this as well. But he said it. Read your Arrian and enjoy. It&#039;s fun everytime!</p><p>Anther Kassander to keep the party going that I&#039;ve not shared, due to the awful picture:</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1453148[/ATTACH] </p><p>Cassander </p><p>311-297 BCE AE (15 MM2, 12g). ca. 306-297 BC MZST. Unknown in Macedonia. vs.: Head of Heracles in the Lion Scalp N. R. Rs.: BAΣIΛEΩΣ/KAΣΣANΔΡOΥ, Lion N. L., including Monogram. SNG cop. 1154 R! Former SAVOCA coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
