Quotes 

• [after Alexander's wedding to Roxane] 

  Philotas : But what's the point Alexander? She's your captive; just take her as your concubine!

  Alexander : Because I want a son. Damn you, Philotas

  Philotas : Half your nobles have sisters who would make fine Macedonian mothers.

  Alexander : To take an Asian as my queen, not a captive, is a sign of deep respect for our subjects. It will, more than anything, bring us together. Unify us. Which is not to say I won't take a Macedonian one day.

  Philotas : As a second wife? And insult Macedonia?

  Antigonus : Never will our people accept this girl's son as king. They'll be angry enough when they find out their husbands all have second wives in Barbaria.

  Alexander : [laughing]  Then they'll learn!
