The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

Would it be a boy?

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

It turns out to be.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

But there isn't anybody.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

There isn't an adult, you know, even an adolescent.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

You could have a guardian for a while and you could think of it as a viable alternative.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

So they are faced with a problem.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

So it's a bit like Philip's murder.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

You think with Alexander, well, he might have been murdered because some people might just have felt, we really, I can't cope with this anymore.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

We've got to move on.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

On the other hand, nobody has that clear a plan of what they're going to do afterwards.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

And he's, you know, he's led a fairly wild lifestyle and people fall ill in the age world, particularly people who've moved through so many different environments, become exposed to so many different sorts of germs along the way.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

Yes, they're tough in many respects, but there's still that one thing that can just prove fatal.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

And so I'm still, I think probably it is just disease and it is just chance that he dies then.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

But it's impossible to say.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

And there are plenty of people who are clearly fed up with him.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

Whether they were that fed up and able to do it, I don't know.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

And it's, as I say, we said right back to the start, that's why it's so hard to pin him down.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

It's so hard to free ourselves when we're looking at these events from the knowledge that he is going to achieve all this.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

He's going to do so much.

The Ancients
Alexander the Great | Lord of Asia

And that others haven't done it.
