The Death of Alexander
#6
Well,
he was a heavy drinker and the death of Hephaestion affected him badly so it could have triggered kidney problems or something similar, of course, there was also the arrow wound that may have caused unknown internal damage.
Graham Phillips has a theory on here, that it was poison...[url:2efuizxw]http://www.grahamphillips.net/Alexander/Alexander_Main.htm[/url]
I was just thinking about Memnon of Rhodes also dying of a mystery illness....
regards
Arthes

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
