Near to the east

In a part of ancient Greece

In an ancient land called Macedonia

Was born a son

To Philip of Macedon

The legend his name was Alexander

At the age of nineteen

He became the Macedon King

And he swore to free all of Asia Minor

By the Aegean Sea

In 334 B.C.

He utterly beat the armies of Persia

[Chorus:]

Alexander the Great

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great

Became a legend ‘mongst mortal men

King Darius the third

Defeated fled Persia

The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes

Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well

And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river

He met King Darius again

And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela

Entering Babylon

And Susa, treasures he found

Took Persepolis the capital of Persia

[Chorus:]

Alexander the Great

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great

Became a God amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke

And Alexander cut the ‘Gordian knot’

And legend said that who untied the knot

He would become the master of Asia

Hellenism he spread far and wide

The Macedonian learned mind

Their culture was a western way of life

He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, marching on

The battle weary marching side by side

Alexander’s army line by line

They wouldn’t follow him to India

Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

[Chorus:]

Alexander the Great

His name struck fear into hearts of men

Alexander the Great

He died of fever in Babylon…

Luigi Pirandello

Quando tu riesci a non aver più un ideale,

perché osservando la vita sembra un enorme pupazzata,

senza nesso, senza spiegazione mai;

quando tu non hai più un sentimento,

perché sei riuscito a non stimare,

a non curare più gli uomini e le cose,

e ti manca perciò l’abitudine, che non trovi,

e l’occupazione, che sdegni

– quando tu, in una parola, vivrai senza la vita,

penserai senza un pensiero,

sentirai senza cuore –

allora tu non saprai che fare:

sarai un viandante senza casa,

un uccello senza nido.

Io sono così.

Non t’amo come se fossi rosa di sale

Non t’amo come se fossi rosa di sale, topazioo freccia di garofani che propagano il fuoco:t’amo come si amano certe cose oscure,segretamente, tra l’ombra e l’anima.

T’amo come la pianta che non fiorisce e recadentro di sé, nascosta, la luce di quei fiori;grazie al tuo amore vive oscuro nel mio corpoil concentrato aroma che ascese dalla terra.

T’amo senza sapere come, né quando, né da dove,t’amo direttamente senza problemi né orgoglio:così ti amo perché non so amare altrimenti

che così, in questo modo in cui non sono e non sei,così vicino che la tua mano sul mio petto è mia,così vicino che si chiudono i tuoi occhi col mio sonno.

Pablo Neruda

"H ζωή του Μ. Αλεξάνδρου στο Μουσείο του...Τατζικιστάν".

Μερικά παραπάνω στοιχεία. Βρίσκεται στο σημερινό Khojand του Tajikistan. Καλύπτει μία μεγάλη αίθουσα του Μουσείου με μαρμάρινες αναπαραστάσεις από τη ζωή του και σχόλια:
"Η νεκρική πομπή του μεγάλου πολεμιστή δείχνει το χέρι του να αιωρείται άδειο, όπως είχε ζητήσει, δείχνωντας ότι κατέκτησε τον μισό κόσμο αλλά πορεύεται στον τάφο χωρίς τίποτα."

Το Khojand είναι η άλλοτε Κυρούπολις, την οποία έχτισε ο Κύρος ο Μέγας στις όχθες του ποταμού Ιαξάρτη· εκεί που ο Αλέξανδρος ο Μέγας θα δώσει την ομώνυμη νικηφόρα μάχη με τους νομάδες Σκύθες βόρεια του ποταμού.

Για να αντιμετωπίσει την Σκυθική απειλή, θα χτίσει αρχικά ένα φρούριο κοντά στη Κυρούπολη - οι ιστορικοί λένε σε 60 μέρες - το οποίο αργότερα θα γίνει η Αλεξάνδρεια η Εσχάτη.
Εκεί εγκαταστάθηκαν παλαίμαχοι στρατιώτες και τραυματίες, ενώ ο Αλέξανδρος θα κινηθεί για την Ινδία. Παντρεύτηκαν ντόπιες Σογδιανές, όπως και ο Αλέξανδρος τη Ρωξάνη.
Ο Ρωμαίος Curtius αναφέρει ότι η Alexandria Ultima θα διατηρήσει τον ελληνιστικό της χαρακτήρα μέχρι το 30 π.Χ.
