Alexander, the King of Macedonia and one of the greatest army leaders in the history of warfare, conquers much of the known world.

— My poor child. You're like Achilles; cursed by your greatness. You must never confuse your feelings with your duties, Alexander. A king must make public gestures for the common people. You will be nineteen this summer, and the girls already say you don't like them, you like Hephastion more. I understand, it's natural for a young man. But if you go to Asia without leaving a successor you risk all
— Hephastion loves me. As I am. Not who.

When men lie together in lust, it is a surrender to the passions... and does nothing for the excellence in us. Nor does any other excess, Cassander, jealousy among them. But when men lie together... and knowledge and virtue are passed between them... that is pure and excellent. When they compete to bring out the good, the best in each other... this is the love between men that can build a city-state... and lift us from our frog pond.

King Philip II: — Attalus is my family now, the same as you.
Alexander: — Then choose your relatives more carefully. Don't expect me to sit here and watch you shame yourself.
King Philip II:Shame?
Attalus: — You insult me!
Alexander: — I insult you! A man not fit to lick the ground my mother walks on. You dog, questioning your queen.
King Philip II: — Shame? I've nothing to be ashamed of, you arrogant brat. I'll marry the girl if I want, and I'll have as many sons as I want. There's nothing you or your harpy mother can do.
