well...Alexander was Macedonian, leading among others, Greeks (always trouble, that combination, an outsider leading a 'domestic' army. Napoleon and the French, Hitler and the Germans, Alexander and the Greeks..;)

Perseopolis sounds like a Greek name to me, which probably is what's throwing me off..;) Though both Persians and Greeks occupied it at one time or another. Interesting, though, I seem to remember that 'Baselius' was a rank in the Byzantine forces later on, something like 'general'. There was this general in the 7th Century  AD...;)

I dunno..you started the Greek thang..;) I was just playing along. I specialize in stupid answers, sometimes..;) Outside of the Hallelujah chorus, and Water Music, it's all I can Handel..;)

I wish I'd said that.. The Staircase Wit
