I would like to know what they did with the Alexander legend. I once
developed a set of con-religious scriptures in which the principal god was Zeus-Ammon
and Alexander
as his son was roughly the messiah.... I also have a (very evil) figure in
Rihana-ye history based loosely on aspects of Alexander's life. (His name is
Kuleba translated "Handsome." His father is Vejofaki "Horselover" i.e.Philip, his
mother Vifisa "Holy Hill"i.e.Olympias. A lot of Rihana-ye names are very
rough translations of names of
historic people, though not consistently from any one era; some are
classical, some medieval.)
