:49:05
And you Patroclus. And then what happened?
:49:09
Now it's the myth only young men believe.
:49:13
But how beautiful a myth it was.
:49:17
Oh we reach, we fall.
:49:20
Oh Hephaistion!
:49:29
I worry for you without me.
:49:32
I am nothing without you!
:49:35
Come, fight Hephaistion!
:49:39
We will die together,
:49:43
It's our destiny.
:49:48
We will have children with our wives,
:49:50
And our sons will play together as we once did,
:49:54
A thousand ships we'll launch from here, Hephaistion.
:49:59
We'll round Arabia, and sail up the gulf to Egypt,
:50:04
From there we'll build a channel through the desert,
:50:06
And out to the middle sea,
:50:08
And then we will move on Carthage, and that great island, Sicily,
:50:11
They'll pay large tribute!
:50:14
After that, the Roman tribe. Good fighters! We'll beat them.
:50:19
And then explore the northern forests and add
the Pillars of Heracles to the western ocean,
:50:26
And then one day, not ten years from now,
:50:31
Babylon, with its deep water harbor,
:50:33
..will be the center of the world. Alexandrias will grow,
:50:38
Populations will mix and travel freely.
Asia and Europe will come together,
:50:45
And we'll grow old, Hephaistion,
:50:49
..looking out our balcony,
:50:52
..at this new world.
