All Rights Reserved ©

Summary

According to the ancient Greek legends, Olympias, mother of Alexander III, on the eve of the consummation of her marriage to Phillip, dreamed that her womb was struck by a thunderbolt, causing a flame that spread' far and wide', before dying away. This indicated that Alexander's father was probably the great lord Zeus himself. On the day of birth of Alexander ,mysteriously the Temple of Artemis was burnt down ,which led into spreading of rumours that probably the Goddess of hunting was busy attending the birth of the most powerful demigod after Achilles and Heracles, so she could not protect her temple. How did this great man die? Although history tells us dry facts about the death of Alexander, which took place on 11th June 323B.C at Babylon, as a result of typhoid and fever. But,prior to his death, there was a prophecy which indirectly foretold not only his death but also the people who would be the cause and consequences thereafter.... This story is about the death mystery of Alexander, The Great. The murder of the greatest king of the world.

The invocation

To,

Zeus,

The father of gods,

Mount Olympus Greece.


I will you with a plea sedate,

To assist me in my task ahead,

I am neither Homer nor Samuel

Neither I’m wise or intellectual

Years ago your brave son died,

And a new sun did rise,

But none knew who stabbed his heart

Broke down his heaven in many parts,

Give me words to expose the regicide

Hold my hand and help me to write…

Yours

Child.
