There are two versions. The Greeks including Herodotus claim he killed himself.  Darius in the Behistun Inscription says he died in an accident.  Since we can't cross exam the witnesses, we can only assume both sides have an advantage in their version.  Since the the participants were Persians, I would have to give them a slight edge.

Mainly from "tribute" -- taxes.  The cities they took from the Persians paid annual tribute to Athens, greatly enriching the city.  The Athenian Greeks also used the conquered areas as colonies, giving land grants to Greek citizens in the conquered areas, as there was little land left in Attica (where Athens is) that wasn't already owned.\nThe tribute was in the form of grain, precious metals, and work products (leather, pottery, etc.) which Athens usually traded (except for the grain) to further enrich the city.

Double post...\n\nOrestes, in Greek mythology, the only son of Clytemnestra and Agamemnon and brother of Electra and Iphigenia. After the slaying of Agamemnon by Clytemnestra and Aegisthus, Orestes, still a boy, was sent to live in exile. Since it was the duty of the senior male in the house to punish the murderers, Orestes was commanded by Apollo to avenge the crime. With the assistance of Electra and his friend Pylades, who accompanied him in all his adventures, he killed his mother and her lover. After this matricide he was haunted by the Furies (Erinyes) until he reached Athens. He was tried and acquitted by the Areopagus, the tribunal of Athenian judges. Not all the Furies, however, accepted the verdict; and, to win full expiation from his crime, he was told to steal the sacred image of Artemis from Tauris. At Tauris he was reunited with Iphigenia and with her assistance stole the image and safely returned to Greece. It is said that he later married Hermione, the daughter of Menelaus and Helen. In the Oresteia, Aeschylus dramatized his vengeance and expiation. The story was also used by Sophocles and Euripides.

Yes it does appear that Christians and Jews borrowed some of the Egyptians ideas, there are similarities between the 10 commandments and the Egyptian book of the dead, the story of Jesus and the story of Horus, and there is even a theory that has a strong point of argument that Moses was actually the Egyptian prince Tuthmosis or the Pharaoh Amenhotep IV.  Tuthmosis was supposedly a prince during the rule of the pharaoh Akhenanten.  This was Amenhotep IV who changed his name to Akhenanten and who tried to change the Egyptian culture by declaring that from then on there was only one true god, Aten, and that Amen-Ra and the other gods should no longer be worshiped.  Apparently this idea was not embraced by the majority of Egypt.

Well, I would like to quote the bible on this one:\n\nDaniel Defeats the Priests of Bel \n1 When King Astyages was buried in the tomb with his ancestors, Cyrus the Persian took his place as king.  a 1 King Astyages ... king: Astyages was the last king of Media. He was defeated in battle in 550 B.C.c* by his grandson Cyrus the Great, the king of Persia, who then became king of the Medes and the Persians and ruled until 530 B.C.\nc*&#92;f* 2 Daniel was a friend and advisor of King Cyrus, and the king honored him more than anyone else. \n 3 3Is 46.1; Jr 51.44.Every day, the Babylonians took food to the idol of their god Bel.  b 3 Bel: Another name for Marduk, the chief god of Babylonia. Bel means “lord.”They brought six hundred pounds of the best wheat flour, fifty gallons of wine, and the meat from forty sheep. \n4 King Cyrus believed that Bel was a powerful god, and he worshiped the idol every day, but Daniel worshiped only his own God. One day, Cyrus asked Daniel, “Why don't you worship Bel?” \n5 Daniel answered, “I refuse to worship idols—they are made by humans. Instead, I worship the living God, because he created heaven and earth, and he rules everyone who lives.” \n6 “But, Daniel,” the king replied, “isn't Bel a living god? Haven't you seen how much he eats and drinks each day?” \n7 Daniel laughed and said, “Don't be fooled, Your Majesty. That idol is merely clay on the inside and bronze on the outside! It never ate or drank anything.” \n8 This made the king angry. So he called in his priests and told them, “Prove to me that Bel  c 8 Prove to me that Bel: Greek “Tell me who.”is eating all this food! If you can't, then you will die. 9 But if you can prove that Bel really is eating the food, then Daniel will die, because he has insulted the god Bel.” \nDaniel said, “Your Majesty, that sounds fair enough to me.” \n10 Now there were seventy priests of Bel, and they and their wives had lots of children. \nThe king went with Daniel into the temple of Bel, 11 and the priests said, “Your Majesty, we will go outside now. Please set out the food and the wine yourself, then shut the door. Drip some hot wax along the edge of the door and press your ring into the wax to leave your special mark. This will show that only you are allowed to open the door.  d 11 Drip some hot wax ... open the door: The king's ring had a special design on it, and he pressed the ring into the soft, hot wax. Then, after the wax cooled, the door could not be opened without breaking the wax.12 When you come back in the morning, if you find that Bel hasn't eaten everything, then you can put us to death. But if the food is gone, this will prove Daniel has been lying, and you can put him to death.” \n13 The priests were not worried at all. They had a secret trap door under the table, and that was how they sneaked into the temple every night to eat the food. \n14 The priests left, and the king arranged Bel's food on the table. Then Daniel told his servants to scatter ashes over the temple floor. The king was the only other person who saw them do this. They shut the door as they went outside, and the king placed his special mark on some hot wax along the edge of the door so that they could tell if the door had been opened. Then they all left. \n15 Later that night, the priests and their wives and children went to the temple as they always did, and they ate and drank everything. \n16 Early the next morning, the king brought Daniel to the temple 17 and asked him, “Daniel, has the wax been broken? Has the door been opened?” \n“No, Your Majesty,” Daniel answered. \n18 As soon as the door was opened,  e 18 door was opened: Greek “doors were opened.”the king looked at the empty table and shouted, “Bel, you are a great god, and you always tell the truth!” \n19 Daniel just laughed. He kept the king from entering the temple and said, “Look at the floor—I wonder who left all those f

No.  There are like 1000 years of difference.\n\nAlexander the Great\n\nAlexander was born on 356 B.C. He was born in Pella the ancient capital of Macedonia, was the son of Philip II, king of Macedonia, and of Olympias, a princess of Epirus. His tutor was Aristotle, who trained him in rhetoric and literature and stimulated his interest in science, medicine and philosophy. \n\n\nUnfortunately in the summer of 336 B.C. his father was assassinated and he ascended to the Macedainian throne. Also unfortunate was that by that time he found his empire in disorder. He had enemies all over, in home and people threatening rebellion abroad. He did quickly deal with this by killing all of the threats and restoring order to his small empire. Then he restored order to Thessaly which had attempted independence. Before the end of summer he had reestablished his position in Greece and was elected by a congress of states at Corinth. \n\nIn 335B.C. as general of the Greeks in a campaign against the Persians, originally planned by his father, he carried out a successful campaign against the defeating Thracains, penetrating to the Danube River. On his return he crushed in a single week the threatening Illyrians and then hastened to Thebes, which had revolted. He took the city by storm and razed it, sparing only the temples of the gods and the houses of the Greek lyric poet Pindar, and selling the surviving inhabitants, about 8000 in number, into slavery. Alexander's promptness in crushing the revolt of Thebes brought the other Greek states into instant and abject submission. \n\n\nAs you can see Alexander had started his way to being a great and powerful ruler. It is said that while visiting Athens to seal a pact, Alexander visited the Oracle at Delphi, despite it being a day when prophecy was forbidden . \n\nThe story continues but look it in the history books.\n\nAlejandro Magno on the other hand is better know in english as Charlemagne lived from 742?—814, and was emperor of the West (800—814), Carolingian king of the Franks (768—814). \n\nElder son of Pepin the Short and a grandson of Charles Martel, Charlemagne shared with his brother Carloman in the succession to his father's kingdom. At Carloman's death (771), young Charlemagne annexed his brother's lands, disinheriting Carloman's two young sons, who fled with their mother to the court of Desiderius, king of the Lombards. When Desiderius conquered part of the papal lands and attempted to force Pope Adrian I to recognize Carloman's sons, Charlemagne intervened (773) on the side of the pope and defeated the Lombards. At Rome, Charlemagne was received by Adrian as patrician of the Romans (a title he had received with his father in 754), and he confirmed his father's donation to the Holy See. Shortly afterward he took Pavia, the Lombard capital, and assumed the iron crown of the Lombard kings of Italy.\n\nIn 778 he invaded Spain, hoping to take advantage of civil war among the Muslim rulers of that kingdom, but was repulsed at Zaragoza. In later campaigns conducted by local counts, Barcelona was captured (801) and a frontier established beyond the Pyrenees. Charlemagne's struggle with the pagan Saxons, whose greatest leader was Widukind, lasted from 772 until 804. By dint of forced conversions, wholesale massacres, and the transportation of thousands of Saxons to the interior of the Frankish kingdom, Charlemagne made his domination over Saxony complete. In 788 he annexed the semi-independent duchy of Bavaria, after deposing its duke, Tassilo. He also warred successfully against the Avars and the Slavs, establishing a frontier south of the Danube.\n\nEmperor of the West\n\nIn 799 the new pope, Leo III, threatened with deposition by the Romans, appealed to Charlemagne. Charlemagne hastened to Rome to support Leo, and on Christmas Day, 800, was crowned emperor by the pope. His coronation legitimized Charlemagne's rule over the former Roman empire in W Euro

Cataline. He led a rebellion against a Roman government that would not do what he told them to do. He failed, and his whole army was slaughtered. Legend says that they found Cataline's body, near none of his compatriots yet surrounded by his dead enemies, a mile closer to Rome than any of his dead men.\n\nMake no mistake, I am not into violence per se, but the sheer force of will of such a man is enviable.\n\nGood Luck!\nkeptcompany@yahoo.com

Pella, Macedonia, in late July, 356 BCE (not that I was there, of course!) on the same day on which the famous Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed by fire. His father, Philip II of Macedon, was a brilliant ruler and strategist. His mother was Olympias, princess of Epirus, daughter of King Neoptolemus. Olympias was initiated into the cults of Dionysus and Orpheus. She was often jealous, vindictive and very protective of Alexander.\n\nhttp://www.1stmuse.com/frames/\n\nI'm not sure "where" his mother was when she gave birth, in Pellas, but I have also heard he was prematurely born (how far along she was, I don't know that either). Was she at the temple??
