elfmaidens:HISTORY MEME- 1/7: Alexander the Great and Hephaestion I’ve come to believe the fear of death drives all men, Hephaistion. This we didn’t learn as schoolboys. Hephaistion: I’ve always believed, Alexander. But this seems so much bigger than us. Alexander: Did Patroclus stare at Achilles when they stood side by side at the siege of troy? Hephaistion: Patroclus died first. Alexander: If you do… if you were to fall Hephaistion, I will avenge you, and follow you down to the house of death. Hephaistion: I would do the same. Alexander: On the eve of battle it’s hardest to be alone. Hephaistion: Then perhaps this is farewell, my Alexander. Alexander: Fear not, Hephaistion. We are at the beginning. -- source link
