There's an interesting twist to this story....
Alexander May Go To Court
Lifestyle: 23 November 2004, Tuesday.
A group of Greek lawyers has threatened to file a lawsuit against Warner Bros. and Oliver Stone "for suggesting Alexander the Great was bisexual" in their latest blockbuster.
Athens-based attorneys are demanding that Warner Bros. issue a disclaimer saying "Alexander" is a fiction. They claim that the unreleased version of the film made references to Alexander the Great's alleged homosexuality, "a fact that is in no historical document or archive on Alexander".
In "Alexander," director Oliver Stone and actor Colin Farrell take on the legendary warrior who conquered most of the known world by age 25.
By the time he died, just shy of his 33rd birthday, Alexander's empire spanned what now is Greece, Turkey, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Kuwait, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan and parts of India, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan; two million square miles.
All that happened in his short life, which spanned his birth in Pella, Macedonia (now Greece), in 356 BC and ended abruptly in 323 BC during a drinking bout in Babylon, now Iraq.
