The Death of Alexander
#16
What I know positive is that he married the eldest daughter of Dareios after he captured the Royal family at Issos. Is that the Parysatis you mentioned?
Tadjik oral tradition and Afgani oral tradition saves a lot of stories about Alexander. Some of them have an element of truth or are base possibly on true facts.
Tadjiks tell that the name Buchara-the famous karpetmaking city is a paraphrase of the Greek "POY HARAN?"= where is joy?. It is attributed to the complaining marching troops of Alexander.
I think I have posted that elsewere:
In Greek MYTHOS= tell a story not necessarily untrue.
In English the root is "tale"
Kind regards
