Macedoniaempire Stories

Kingdom of Macedon, around 343 B.C. Hephaestion was only a young page at Alexander's service, but the two quickly became inseparable friends and lovers. Together through every war, through every conquest, and united even in the pain of losing their respective fathers. Inseparable companions, loyal to each other until the end like Patroclus and Achilles before them. The son of General Amyntor managed to reach the highest office, that of Chiliarch, just one step below the king's own role. The love between Alexander and Hephaestion has been erased from history, but has nevertheless remained immortal exactly like that of the Iliad's hero, ancestor of the young Macedonian prince himself. «Darius will bow at your feet, my king.» «And what shall I do, when that happens?» «You will have to be yourself, Alexander.»
