Description

Alexander the Great (356-323 B.C.) King of Greek Macedonia and one of the greatest generals in history. He conquered much of what was the civilized world at his time, with an army of only 40.000 Greeks. He was a pupil of the philosopher Aristotle, one of the greatest minds in history.. A tribute to the greatest Greek king and general of all times, a man who achieve to conquer the land between Asia Minor to India, including Egypt before his death at the age of 33... An Oliver Stone's film is about to release about Alexander...According to what i have read from the ancient authors some things mentioning in this film are absolutely not correct (ex. he was a drunk or he likes more man than women etc). I also have to mention another thing...Some people beleive that Macedonians are different than Greeks...Some of them have convince themselves that they are Macedonians without been Greek... Well, it would be better for them to read the ancient authors, just to be sure if what they are saying is correct or not... Anyway... I hope you like the picture people... Kind regards Kostas

Growing up I was a very big fan of Alexander the Great, so this image tribute to him is absolutely tremendous. I wish you would take on a render of him taming his horse, Bucephalus. :o)

I was also disappointed with the movie Alexander. Oliver Stones version is a pro-gay rights love story that completely misses the meaning behind Alexander's life and legacy. The scenes were beautiful and the costumes were magnificent but the scenario is pointless and never explains why Alexander did all that he did. It's amazing how such an awesome story could be told so terribly. Its sad that some very good actors like Anthony Hopkins (as Ptolemy), got caught up in this empty film.
