11:26 pm: Atg Story: Like a God of the Sun
Notes: the philosopher and writer Kallistenes refused to perform the proskynesis before Alexandros when Hephaestion asks him to do as the King orders. My take on the episode.

07:28 pm: NEW ATG STORY
Notes: just another of my mournful stories-poems...Barsines thinks of Alexandros and of the last time she saw him.
About the marriages in Susa, I followed Arrian's account, who says that Barsines' daughter married Nearkos; with the majority of historians, I supposed that Barsines was much older than Alexandros. 
Translation of the quote by the french writer Céline: All that matters happens in the shadows. We know nothing of the true history of men.

10:40 pm: New Alexandros' story. Italian version
I can hardly believe it, but I managed to write a new story about Alexandros...:D  Actually, not only one, because another is coming...I needed some break from studies (yes, I study also when I'm in holiday...). This is the italian version of the first story: the english version will come, I only need some time, ok?

Title: Un pensiero per te

Author: Parisad (of course!)

Rating and Warning: none, it's a very simple story

Notes:
I've tried to feel what Barsines could have felt in her lonely years far from Alexandros, her fear and despair, her love and her thoughts for her son. We can suppose that she was quite older than Alexandros (despite what Chugg says), and I saw her as a mistress, but also as a mother. Last note: I've followed Arrian's account about the marriage of Nearkos in Susa.

Breath of a God

03:26 pm: short ATG poem-story...

Finally I have written again something about Alexander...it's a very short story, actually more a poem than a story. A "conversation of eyes" between Kalanos, the indian philosopher who asked to be burned when he felt death coming close to him, and Alexander. This short story is from a poem I had written sometime ago.

THANKS TO MY SWEET Moon '71!

11:58 am: Alexander fic


Title: And so we'll be united

Rating: FRM (PG-13)

Notes. This was the first Alexander fic I wrote; I didn't like it and I wanted to modify it, but I had never found the time to do it. Finally, I have modified and edited it; I made some change here and there. Some of you had already read it; anyway, here's the new version. Tell me what you think about it...:)

PG-13

Notes: written for a challenge at  [info]atgstories, the first meeting between Alexander and Roxane and Alexander decision to marry her.

Thanks to my sweet friend Moon '71 who has edited this fic!

06:56 pm: Alexander fic

Title: At your death-bed

Author: Parisad

Rating: PG-13

Warning: none

Notes: Alexander is dying: the thoughts of his wives at his death-bed. Every POV has 150 words: no more, no less. The lines about Alexander's death are from Alexander's life of Plutarch; I assumed that Statira was not there when he died, as we can guess reading Plutarch and Curtius Rufus.
