Cover Alexander (Vol. 3) (Alexander Trilogy)
3   41  ALEXANDER CELEBRATED THE birth of his new city with solemn rites and sacrifices, after which he announced athletics, games and a poetry competition with elaborate stage settings. The best tragic actors who had acted in all the most demanding roles now sought to compete with the legendary Thessalus. The highland air, however, seemed to confer even grander timbre and power to the great actor’s voice.
The high point of the cycle of tragedies came with a production of Seven against Thebes i

The celebrations lasted seven days. On the eighth day, the army set off on its march behind a patrol of local guides in the direction of the pass. After just two stops, they found themselves advancing through deep snow across a land that appeared to be completely deserted.
