To the world, he was a conqueror, a king, perhaps even something divine - but to Hephaestion, he was nothing less than Alexander. In the footsteps of Achilles and his Patroclus, they were destined to ascend to legend together, for each was unwilling to live without the other. Told from Hephaestion's point of view, "I Am Alexander" chronicles a series of vignettes spanning the lifetime of Alexander the Great, imagining their hidden romance interwoven with historically accurate events. To the query, "What is friendship?" his reply was, "A single soul dwelling in two bodies." - Aristotle, Diogenes Laërtius 5.1.20
