Upon what basis are we creating here a two-tiered structure of information, in which some data is declared certain and other data informed guesses? Haiduc 00:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
Many get deleted but we speak about his perosnal relationships...wow, whatever!
Ref #11 says "Alexandre le Grand", Roger Caratini, p.170. From what I can tell, Roger Caratini never wrote a book called "Alexandre le Grand". He wrote several, but not that one. AB Bosworth, however, did write a book by that title. Also, both authors seem to be French, though the part of the article being sourced is in English. Can someone clarify? -- SatyrTN ( talk | contribs) 05:25, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
I had seen this line here: "Alexander was a very handsome man and liked to ejectulate while watching britney spears 'Gimme gimme more video' other thaan that Alexander the Great was a homosexual." I don't think it should be included in the article since it talks about someone from the past. I just thought of informing the people that edits this page.Thanks!

Sorry about that. I don't know how much and how to delete the content in this article since I'm kindda new here. I was reading this article and saw that line. I don't wanna ruin the article. Anyways, thanks for re-editing of the page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Valefor1023 ( talk • contribs) 21:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm currently reading Valerio Massimos semi-fictional trilogy on Alexander the Great. It seems to put quite a lot of focus on his marriage to Stateira (daughter of Darius III) yet she isn't included in this article. Actually, none of the articles I've found regarding Alexander seem to give much notice to Stateira, and the article about Stateira II is just a stub.
Is her involvment with Alexander not as significant as I thought it was? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.239.66.41 ( talk) 09:06, 12 December 2007 (UTC)
I haven't edited for awhile, but I came across this and have to point out that Heracles was certainly mentioned shortly after Alexander's death in the succession struggle. Nearchus, Barsine's son-in-law and so brother in law to Heracles put his name forward as a candidate for the kingship, but it was rejected. I'll check back in a few days, with the proper cite.

How can you say "Many stories are told by later historians on the subject of Alexander's love affairs, but as the original sources are lost to us, it is difficult to tell fact from fiction", implying, falsely, that somehow the sources on his relationships are less credible than the sources on his entire life?! They are one and the same. Haiduc ( talk) 23:33, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
He was gay. Get over it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Glendale1 ( talk • contribs) 14:23, 5 March 2022 (UTC)
In the final sentence of the aforementioned section, there is a colon apparently prefacing a missing quotation. Do we know what this quote was supposed to say? Otherwise, I'd suggest deleting the sentence. Mdrewcaffin ( talk) 02:14, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
This article presents the potential historical basis for Alexander possibly having a romantic relationship with Hephaestion while the opposing side is represented by a "far-right Greek politician", despite this debate having no consensus among historians. It would only be fair to present both sides fairly Man-Man122 ( talk) 16:57, 13 June 2024 (UTC)
