Only One Colossus

OMG this is so not fair. There are clips from Alexander up here but my computer refuses to download the Flash program apparently required to play them. Mostly because it, y'know, already has it. MSN, however, doesn't seem to recognize this, and so I am trapped. Trapped, inches from Alexander.

*whimper*

One of the clips is the charge at Gaugemela. Now, this is just cruel.

This makes me fear for the Greeks. Apparently, they're going to sue Stone for saying Alexander was bisexual. But-but-but, he was. I mean, what documents we have all but say, "And then the king and General Hephaistion went back to the Royal Bedchamber and had the Royal Sex." Actually, scratch that, some of them do say that.

Plans for the Hephaistionista shirt are coming apace, and I have roped TR into seeing the movie with me. For my um, first viewing, at least.

Maybe second. I mean, she's not coming back to northern Alabama until Friday, and the movie comes out Wednesday, and OMG cannot wait that long. *cough* Yeah, I'm um, kind of a classics fangirl. Can you tell?

It's more just that he wouldn't not have been bi-sexual because the Greeks didn't have the idea of sexuality the way we do. Omnisexuality was just the order of the day.

Well, it's not like they're gonna have Colin Farrell say, "I'm bisexual." I doubt they'll even make a big deal out of it, because, after all, omnisexuality was the order of the day. But he did sleep with men as well as women, and this group seems to think that Bagoas was, like, his drinking buddy.
