  • Wrestling Trainer: You don't need much to fight. When you're in the front ranks of a battle, chasing some northern barbarian tribe. Courage won't be in the lining of your stomach Nearchus, is in the heart of a man. You don't need to eat everyday or until your full Ptolemy.

    [Laughs]
    Aristotle: We hope. (unknown)

    [Looks at Alexander]
    Philip: Apologize by Zeus, before you dishonor me.
    Alexander: You defend the man that called my mother a whore and me a bastard? And I dishonor you?
    Philip: Ah!You listen more like your mother. Attalus is my family now, the same as you.

  • Old Ptolemy: The truth is never simple and yet it is. The truth is we did kill him. By silence we consented, because, because we couldn't go on. But by Ares, did we have to look forward to, but to be discarded in the end like Cleitus? After all this time, to give away our wealth to Asian sick offense we despised? Mixing the races? Harmony? Oh, he talked of this things. (unknown)
