Hi E,

I've been given Alex to sub - not done much - fixed up some spelling and style stuff, and added a few more links (including the BBC History one on Alex, thought it was nice to have a different view on the man if people were interested. I'll remove it if you'd prefer though).

Oh, it's here: A32619332

Thanks Matt!

These will be my fault:

"He was also hailed as a Pharaoh and a god, and founded the city of Alexandria5. Alexandria became an important and influential city."

can we say

"He was also hailed as a Pharaoh and a god, and founded the city of Alexandria5, which became an important and influential city."

Also

"Alexander supposedly refused as he wanted to defeat Darius in a fair battle so he would not oppose him in future.

Darius's army, supposedly consisting of one million men, met Alexander's on 1 October, 331 BC, and was again defeated."

Can you change one of the supposedlys?

Much obliged. smiley - smiley

I'm wondering whether to knock hat final paragraph with the bit about Alex being seen as Pharaoh and a god down so it's the beginning of the Divine Ancestry section. What do you think?
