Anyway.

You bailed Alex out?

I know.

Thank you.

She's a seductress.

Give us the whole... Even that's contested.

Yeah, it's tragedy.

It is symbolic, though, that Alexandria, by the very end, is getting destroyed.

And the way that they're trying to pay for it is by destroying the founder.

You know what I mean?

That's why Cleopatra is always depicted with snakes and stuff.

Statues of her.

Shakespeare is a hack.

And doesn't Alexander get back against the Persians?

Like, that's one of the things I think Alexander is, like, so interesting to me is, like, I don't know if it's on purpose or if it's incidental, but, like...

cyrus goes through or maybe it's xerxes and basically goes through and burns down all of athens during like the greco-persian wars and then years later alexander the great like sort of kind of unites these like greek city-states becomes like this great like greek leader and then goes to persopolis and then burns it down himself like kind of like an fu to the persians that burned down greece yeah uh i think it was um yeah the the persians

Can I ask you another great story?

Yes, sir.

This is not pertaining to Europe, but this is my favorite story that you told me when we did the pod.

Okay.
