Exercise 6.2 Alexander and Bucephalas

Philoneikos the Thessalian, who was a trader of horses, once came to Macedonia and to the palace of
Philip. For he had a very big and very fine horse. And Philip said ‘What is the horse’s name?’ ‘It is
Bucephalas, because he has a very big head, like an ox.’ ‘And what is the price?’ ‘Thirteen talents; for
the horse is very good.’ Bucephalas however, despite being very beautiful, was wild; as a result, none
of Philip’s slaves and friends was able to restrain him. Philip therefore ordered Philoneikos to take the
horse away.
Then there was a shout. For Alexander, who was still a boy, said ‘You are foolish. For Bucephalas is
excellent. Why is my father sending the horse away?’ And so Philip said to his son ‘Are you, who are
young, able to restrain the horse? For my friends and slaves, who are experienced, were not able to. But
Bucephalas is here for you. Therefore restrain the horse; otherwise, I shall punish your rashness.’
Alexander therefore immediately ran to the horse. He took the bridle, and turned the horse towards
the sun. Then, stroking his head, he got on. For previously his shadow caused fear, but now Bucephalas
was calm. And Alexander rode skilfully. Therefore Philip, who was delighted, said ‘Boy, you must find
another kingdom. For Macedonia is not enough.’

Exercise 6.3 Alexander seeks Revenge

When a certain enemy killed Philip, Alexander, who was still a young man, succeeded to power.
Therefore he gathered the generals together; then he said ‘I shall lead a very big army to Asia. For
Achilles, who was a brave soldier and my ancestor, gained glory in Asia. I also wish to punish the
barbarians. For the barbarians in two invasions harmed the Greeks long ago.’

4 ὁ τα πλοια φυλασσων ξενος ἐστιν.
5 οἱ ἐν τῃ ἐκκλησιᾳ ἐπιστευσαν τῳ ἀγγελῳ.

Exercise 6.8 Alexander and Hope

And when Alexander wanted to lead his army to Asia, he first distributed all his money to his friends.
Therefore Perdiccas, a friend of Alexander, said to him ‘King, you have distributed all your money to
us. But what is left for you?’ ‘Hope’ said Alexander. And so Perdiccas when he heard the speech of
Alexander said to him ‘When marching to Asia and to war, I wish to have your hope rather than your
money.’

4 ἡ νυξ ἐπαυσε τα της ἡμερας.
5 οἱ ἐκει ἐφυλασσον τας ἐν τῃ κωμῃ.

Exercise 6.11 Alexander at Troy

Alexander, while leading his army to Asia, came to a certain country; here long ago was Troy.
Alexander therefore first sacrificed to Priam, on account of fear of his anger. And the inhabitants of the
country said ‘There was long ago another Alexander. For Paris, the son of Priam, had another name;
and so he was Alexander, just like you. We still now have Alexander’s lyre. Do you want to see it?’
Alexander however said ‘I want to see not the lyre of Alexander but the tomb of Achilles. For Achilles
was a very great hero and my ancestor.’ Then he ran to the tomb of Achilles. And leaving a wreath on
the tomb he said ‘Achilles, my ancestor, be my ally in the war!’

5 ἡ οἰκια αὐτη δυο θυρας ἐχει.

Exercise 6.14 Alexander’s Leadership

Alexander’s army was going through a certain hot country. The soldiers did not have any water. And
Alexander himself, despite suffering bad things, did not want to get up onto a horse. The soldiers
therefore were able to put up with their thirst, since they saw the general suffering the same things.
Then some of the soldiers ran away from the road; for they wanted to find water. And they finally
found a small spring, which had a little water. And so when they had collected the water, they carried it
slowly in a helmet, as if it were a good prize. When they saw the army again, the men carrying the
helmet gave the water to Alexander. Alexander however said to them ‘Friends, I am grateful for the
gift. But I am not able to drink it. For the soldiers, who do not have water, are suffering the same bad
things.’ And Alexander immediately threw down the helmet.

4 οἱ τον λογον ἀκουσαντες πιστευουσι τῳ ἀγγελῳ.
5 ἐθελω εὑρισκειν τον τους ἱππους λυσαντα.

Exercise 6.19 Alexander and the Gordian Knot (1)

Alexander came into a certain place called Gordium. The place has its name from a certain man of
those of long ago. For Gordius was a poor man. He had a small house in the fields. He had a son named
Midas. There was a city nearby, and there was a very great revolution there among the citizens. The
citizens however were amazed when they heard an oracle of the gods: ‘A cart will bring you a saviour;
and being king he will stop the troubles among you.’ When the citizens were still talking about the
oracle, Midas, bringing produce in Gordius’ cart, came into the marketplace. The citizens said
‘Stranger, king, you have come at just the right time.’ Therefore Midas, who was now king, when he
had stopped the troubles of the citizens, left the cart in the temple as a thank-offering.
Exercise 6.20

8 The women who had found the messenger took him to the market-place.
9 Those who died in the war were brave.
10 Having thrown away the book, I am learning with difficulty.

Exercise 6.21

2 ἡ την ἐπιστολην εὑρουσα ἐν τῃ ἀγορᾳ ἐμενεν.
3 ὁ στρατηγος, τον στρατον ἐκ κινδυνου ἐξαγαγων, κωμην μικραν ηὑρεν.
4 τους λογους μαθων ἀπεβαλον την βιβλον.
5 ὁ το ἐμον δειπνον φαγων δουλος ἐστιν.

Exercise 6.22 Alexander and the Gordian Knot (2)

And after many generations the cart of Gordius was still in the temple, and had very great honour. For
first it was old, and in it Midas came in as king; then on the fastening of the yoke was a strange and
intricate knot, with the result that no-one was able to undo it. And there was a certain saying among the
citizens: ‘The man who undoes the knot will be king of Asia.’ Alexander therefore when he heard the
story came into the temple. He saw the cart and the knot. And having taken a small sword he slashed
the knot: it was cheating, but magnificent.

Exercise 6.23
1 We waited for three days, but on the fourth we fled.

4 πεντε παιδες ἐφερον τους δυο νεκρους.
5 ἀρα οἱ θεοι δευτεραν ναυμαχιαν τεσσαρων ἡμερων κωλυσουσιν;

4 οὐδεν κωλυσει την μαχην.
5 ὁ ἀγγελος αὐτος οὐδενι πιστευει.

Exercise 6.28 Alexander’s Trust

Alexander once went to Tarsus. There was a fine bathing-place there. Alexander however on account
of the river fell into a terrible disease. And there was danger of death: for no-one was able to save him.
There was however a certain doctor, named Philip; and everyone trusted him. Philip wanted to give a
drug to Alexander. The king therefore consented, and Philip prepared the drug in a cup. Then a certain
general sent a letter. In the letter he told Alexander that his enemies had provided money and persuaded
Philip to kill Alexander. When the doctor was present, the king took the cup and showed him the letter.
At the same time therefore Alexander was drinking and Philip was reading the letter.

Exercise 6.29

5 τί πλοιον τοις παισιν ἐστιν;

Exercise 6.33 Alexander’s Kindness

Alexander’s soldiers were marching through a very big forest. Many had already died on account of the
snow, and the others were despondent. The king however, having gathered together the stragglers,
ordered them to cut down many trees and prepare a camp and a fire. And soon the soldiers had both a
fine camp and a very big fire. And they were all warming their bodies near the fire. After many hours a
certain soldier who was carrying his weapons with difficulty came into the camp just before nightfall,
half-dead. Alexander, when he saw the soldier, immediately left his seat. After taking the weapons
from the soldier, he ordered him to sit near the fire. The soldier therefore sat down, not recognising
Alexander. Sleep immediately overtook him. Later, having woken up, he was healthy, but terrified as
he was sitting in the royal seat; and he wanted to leave the seat immediately.
Alexander however said to everyone ‘Do you know, friends, that you have good fortune but the
enemy bad? For the king of the Persians, if someone sits in the royal seat, punishes him with death. To
the barbarian therefore the seat brings death - but to you, soldier, life and safety.

Exercise 6.34

Exercise 6.39 Alexander’s Ambition

Alexander on his journey through the desert came to the oracle of Ammon. For the king and father of
the gods is for some of mankind Zeus by name, for others Ammon or someone else. And so the name
of Zeus in Libya is Ammon. When Alexander came to the oracle, the priest, who had learned the
language badly, wanted to say to him in Greek ‘My child’. He did not however say paidion correctly,
but paidios, saying the sigma instead of the nu. Alexander rejoiced because the priest, as he believed,
said to him ‘Son of Zeus (pai Dios).’ Therefore when in the war against the Persians Alexander had a
victory, he ordered the soldiers to address him as a god. And many of the men in the army were ready
to address Alexander in this way. But a certain Spartan said only ‘If Alexander wants to be a god, let
him be a god.’

Exercise 6.40
1 The messenger from the island reported terrible things about affairs/the people there.
2 The slave having stolen our money carried it to the boat.

8 Some of the enemy damaged the fields, others the houses.
9 The stranger after admiring both the temples and the marketplace finally went away.
10 Who saw the people who had drunk the wine?

Exercise 6.41
1 οἱ ναυται πολλους των πολεμιων ἀποκτειναντες δειπνον ἐφαγον.
2 ὁ γερων ἐδιωξε τους παιδας ἐκ του ἀγρου.
3 τρεις ἡμερας μεινασα, ἡ την βουλην παρασκευασασα παντα τῳ στρατηγῳ εἰπεν.
4 ὁ δουλος ὁ τον ἐμον ἱππον διωξας τελος ἐφυγεν.
5 καιπερ την κωμην ἀνδρειως φυλαξαντες, οἱ ἐκει οὐκ ἐμειναν τον στρατον.
Exercise 6.42 Alexander and Dionysus
When Alexander was going towards Nysa, the people of Nysa sent out messengers ‘King, the people of
Nysa wish to remain free. Therefore preserve their independence on account of Dionysus. For the god
was the founder of Nysa. For when he gained a victory over the Indians, he founded Nysa in order to
leave a memorial of his victory for future generations. In the same way you yourself also have founded
Alexandria the Farthest and another Alexandria in the land of the Egyptians, and many others; some
you have founded already, others you will found in due course. We always have Nysa free, governing it
in good order on account of its independence. There is also a proof of Dionysus having founded Nysa;
for ivy flourishes nowhere else in the land of the Indians but only here.’
Alexander therefore having gladly heard the words of the messengers ordered the ruler of Nysa to
send 400 of his best men as soldiers. But the ruler said ‘We are not able to govern Nysa in good order if
very many of the best men are away. Take therefore instead of the 400 best men twice as many of the
bad ones. In this way therefore when you have returned you will find Nysa being in the same good
order.’

Exercise 6.43 Alexander, Homer and Fame

Alexander while he was still a boy often used to read the Iliad. He had a nickname ‘Achilles’. His
teacher also had a nickname ‘Cheiron’, because the centaur educated Achilles. When he was king and
general, Alexander always had the Iliad with his dagger under his pillow. And when he had routed the
Persians in battle he took many prizes and in particular a certain chest of Darius which was valuable;
and in the chest he kept the Iliad. And once when a certain messenger ran in excited, Alexander said to
him ‘Why are you so excited? Is Homer alive again?’ For he envied Achilles because Homer sang
about him. And a certain bad poet once said to Alexander ‘I shall write a poem about you just like
Homer about Achilles.’ But Alexander replied ‘I wish to be Thersites in the Iliad rather than
Agamemnon in your poem.’ And Callisthenes, a historian who wrote about Alexander, said ‘The
reputation of Alexander is in my hands.’ Many people however both then and later wrote about
Alexander. And they say that sailors sometimes hear a certain strange voice saying ‘Where is
Alexander the Great?’ And they reply ‘Alexander is alive and reigns.’
