made the mistake of reading up about Alexander the Great’s relationship with his best friend Hephaestion and learnt that he was kind of a drama queen because

  • after Hephaestion died, he spent maybe 1.5 billion dollars on his funeral which is a conservative estimate 
  • spent all night weeping over the body until they dragged him away
  • extinguished a light only reserved to signify the death of the king (i.e. himself, Alexander the Great)
  • went to the oracle and petitioned to have Hephaestion granted the status of a god but was denied
  • nine months later, was still planning expensive monuments dedicated to his pal, except then he died, so what can you do
  • people say the only thing that ever defeated Alexander the Great was Hephaestion’s thighs
  • there’s so much more
