I like how they kept Xena’s hometown and Gabrielle’s hometown so close to each other in ‘Assassin’s Creed: Odyssey’. Both of them residing in Makedonia. Now the travelling on foot distance makes some sense.

It’s spelt majorly differently.

It’s Macedonia and Potidaea.

Amphipolis is spelt right though.

You said before that your DwtL Hephaistion in the modern world would be a vet or work with animals if he got to follow his heart, really (career-wise). What do you think your fictional Alexandros’s career would be in the modern world? And on the flip side what professions do you think the actual historical Alexander and Hephaistion would have if they were transported to the 21st century?

Crafting Believable Modern Analogs for Historical Figures

How fun to re-imagine who Alexander the Great might be in the modern world. It’s tempting to take the obvious, and too-easy route: assuming he’d be a tech or media mogul, or a celebrity child, or even a scion of some old-money family like Anderson Cooper is of the Vanderbilts. But those miss some important aspects.

Let’s try to find modern parallels for things going on in Pella when Alexander was growing up, to get a better handle on who a “modern” Alexander might be.

That requires the all-important FRAMING of his social setting and situation.

Philip II, his father, came to an unstable throne in 359 BCE. Within one year, he’d turned the tables on Macedon’s erstwhile conqueror, Bardylis of Illyria, and proved very successful at consolidating rule and making allies, or forcing them. Even so, when Alexander was born in the summer/fall of 356, Philip still hadn’t made his mark outside the region, and didn’t truly begin to pour money into Pella until about ten years later. His involvement in the Third Sacred War (356-46) got him attention in the south, but it was long, complicated, and expensive, and we know he was flat broke at several points, unable to pay his own soldiers. That’s part of why he embarked on northern campaigns. The Thracians had gold. The Phokians didn’t, but defeating them bought him a seat on the Delphi Amphyctiony worth prestige. Subsequent reduction of big cities such as Olynthos and Potidaia helped on the funds front. So, by the time Alexander reached preteen/teenage years, Philip could afford to buy him a horse worth 3 (or 13) talents of silver.

Near the end of Rise, at almost 20, Alexandros still thinks of himself against Philip’s achievements: His life might come to nothing, no great deeds to inscribe after his name. Always he’d walked in his father’s shadow:“There goes Philippos of Makedon. Oh, and that is his son, Alexandros.” He was beginning to think he’d be an afterthought forever.

A visual record of ol' Phil's conquests:

To me, that’s a key aspect underscoring Alexander’s (or my Alexandros’s) ambitions. Philip may have suffered similar, but in reverse. He was the youngest son, come accidentally to power after military disaster and exile, his brothers arguably failures, his father a king of mixed reputation. Amyntas III was among the few Argeads to die in bed of old age, not be assassinated or killed in battle. But OTOH…he was among the few Argeads to die in bed of old age because all he did was hold onto his throne, and that barely.

I’m not sure that inheritance was any easier.

I see parallels between what Volodymyr Zelenskyy has pulled off in Ukraine, and what Philip of Macedon did, in his first few years on the throne. Both men grasp symbolism and the Mask of Command, and use it to craft a resistance that held off an opponent others assumed would wipe up the floor with them (Bardylis, for Philip)—but whose army proved to be over-confident and under-trained. Yet an elected official is quite different from a king, and one shouldn’t push that parallel too far.

For Alexander, I can see some parallels to JFK, Jr., in the mythos of the Kennedy name (e.g., Heraklid blood), and heavy political expectations…yet JFK died when John Jr. was quite young, and John Jr. didn’t step into his father’s shoes despite popular hopes (or fears) that he’d try. Instead, he seemed interested in doing his own thing. That’s not Alexander, who, when he appeared before the Corinthian League to accept the role as hegemon leading the invasion of Persia, told them only the name of the king had changed. John Jr. didn’t want to go into politics because he was a Kennedy. Alexander absolutely invaded Persia because he was a Temenid/Argead.

Nonetheless, that provides a way to think about a modern Alexander analog.

Some key elements would be coming from an important local family, but one sniffed at in NYC or London or Paris or Rome. They’d be nouveau riche…or perceived to be. Savvy, smart, but a bit gauche, Alexander the first generation at boarding school (and not let to forget it). Or they were once a wealthy family who fell on hard times in the Depression and have only recently clawed their way back to prominence. (The Macedonian royal clan was pretty damn wealthy in the Archaic Era, if we can use the gold in burials at Vergina, Arkontiko, etc., as a guide.) Even Archelaos’s new capital of Pella was, size-wise, not comparable to foundations in south Greece or Asia Minor: up-and-coming, not established.

Pella reminds me a bit of Orlando, Florida, which is now one of the fastest-growing metropolitan areas in the US. But when my parents moved our family to its neighbor, Lakeland, in 1968, Lakeland was not so very much smaller. Orlando had orange groves, but Lakeland had the once-super-important rail system. The big city in the area was Tampa, 4xs Orlando’s size at the time. (Image below, Lake Ivanhoe, downtown Orlando, 1968)

Times change. Railroads stopped being so critical. And not long after we arrived in Lakeland, Orlando got Mouse Ears (Disney), then exploded and never stopped. Now Lakeland is a little-known-outside-Central-Florida bedroom community for Greater Tampa Bay and the behemoth that is Orlando/Kissimmee. Tampa is still bigger, but it’s been a big city since the first decades of the 1900s. Orlando, only since the 1970s. I watched it happen.

It’s not a bad parallel for Pella. Pella pre-existed Archelaos. He just dredged the harbor and moved the palace there. He started the process—(Orlando in the 1950s)—but died too soon and was succeeded by roiling chaos until Philip came to the throne. Philip was Pella’s Mouse Ears. Yet the Pella Alexander grew up in was still nascent: “we’re going to BE something but it’s not quite here yet.” Similarly, in the late ‘70s and early ‘80s, Orlando grew, but wasn’t yet monstrous. Huge tracks of undeveloped land and orange groves still covered countryside that is now wall-to-wall hotels, stores, retirement communities, and high-end vacation-home rentals in a vast urban sprawl. Alexander’s Pella was Orlando in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s, not the mega-metropolis you’ll see if you visit the archaeological site today, which shows the expansion not only of the crazy-rich Antigonid Hellenistic city (post ATG), but also Roman Pella. (Reconstruction of Hellenistic Pella)

Alexander’s Pella also reminds me a bit of modern Omaha, a city that feels on the brink of something bigger. (For an interesting take on Omaha’s expansion, here’s a 2020 article in the LA Times, so it’s not local propaganda.)

Let’s play that comparison out further.

The article points to the impact of Warren Buffett (and his family) on the city, their investments and promotion of growth-industries such as financials, tech, education, and medical research…all contrasted with the Koch investments in oil and big manufacturing in Wichita that have mostly left or gone belly-up. Philip did similar, following the model of Archelaos before him, and Alexander I before that: investing and modernizing. People moved to Pella because it was exciting. Instead of a brain drain to Athens, or Thebes, or the cities of Asia Minor, Philip hired engineers and builders to come there. He encouraged trade, using the big rivers to transport timber and metals from the interior down to the coast to sell, enriching both the royal pocketbook and the families of merchants who settled in Pella (or Amphipolis, etc.) to oversee those lucrative royal contracts.

So if you want to “find” Alexander in the modern world, ditch the king part, and the war-mongering part; those are artifacts of his world that don’t transfer easily. Instead, look at his social milieu. No, he wouldn’t be the scion of old money like the Rothschilds in London, or a Carnegie or Rockefeller or Vanderbilt in NYC, or a Forbes in Boston, Getty in LA, or McCormick in Chicago. He wouldn’t even be a Kennedy, or a Bush.

I’d make him a Buffett (or similar). The family’s insanely rich although they give a lot of it away, politically active and genuinely philanthropic, but not politicians. Greater Omaha is not a major metropolis, but is a big city (just under a one million) with cosmopolitan shine and a few things worth boasting about. Yet he’d still constantly have to apologize for his hometown at any ivy-league college. As a grandson or great-nephew, he’d have been hearing business talk from a young age, and probably sat in on more than a few boardrooms. He’d have his own legacy portfolio. He'd have grown up seeing the family name on dozens of local buildings, jetted around the world, rubbed elbows with the rich and famous, and had to sit through his share of benefit events and appear at high-profile galas. He’d have grown up in the shadow of the Oracle of Omaha (Grandpa Warren) who still lives in the house he bought in 1958 (5 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms), and suffer being looked down on by Old Money from Old Settlements (like a Demosthenes in Athens). (Below: Buffett house in Omaha)

Keeping with the theme, maybe he’d decide to take over Berkshire Hathaway and grow it even bigger. Forget the Koch family in Wichita or the Waltons (Wal-Mart) in the Ozarks of Arkansas. He’d challenge the likes of Zuckerberg and Musk and Bezos (the modern Athens or Thebes or Sparta), but do it Buffett style from the Democratic angle. Being young, maybe he’d decide to champion environmental causes. Instead of seeing it as his divine destiny to conquer the world, perhaps he’d believe it his duty (noblesse oblige) to save it.

That’s a long, discursive exploration, but I think Alexander was just SO wedded to his position by birth that, unlike Hephaistion, he never had a chance to be or even think of himself as a private individual with ambitions apart from those of his family. You could play the same game and make him one of the aforementioned Waltons or Kochs, if you wanted a completely different political angle. But he shouldn’t come from a big, cosmopolitan city or Old Money family.

Edit to add: Realized I got so excited about Analog ATG, I neglected Hephaistion. Don’t know enough about the historical man to play that out. But for my fictional Hephaistion, aside from pursuing something to do with animals/hoses, maybe a large animal vet, I would make him from Old Money, somebody Alexandros met at boarding school. Maybe the son of a family who breeds race horses, but he wants to doctor them instead. How scandalous. 'Son, we hire people to do that. You're not the help.'

Btw, for those who enjoy this sort of reimagined fictional analog for famous people—and you’ve not already read it (or heard about it)—let me recommend Kate Elliott’s Unconquerable Sun. It’s a gender-flipped space opera with the Republic of Chaionia as Macedon in the Stars, newly triumphant over the Yele League (Athens) under Queen-Marshal Eirene (Philip), now gearing up for war against the mighty Phene Empire (Persia). Princess Sun is a reimagined Alexander, Hetty is Hephaistion, Persephone is Ptolemy, etc. The second book, Furious Heaven, is done, I’ve read it, it’s great, but is currently in awaiting-edits purgatory. The whole supply chain problem affects some really weird things…including book publishing.

There's an even lesser known Alexander analog in a set of three novels published by Alison Spedding in the latter 1980s that starts with The Road and the Hills.

In the last five years, the husband-and-wife team of Yannis Prodromou and Evi Psounou Prodromou have weathered the Greek economic crisis by rebranding their olive tree and olive fruit company, Yanni’s Olive Grove, into an award-winning producer of extra virgin olive oil (EVOO).

Located in northern Greece and specializing in early harvest extra virgin olive oil, they are now working in collaboration with Thessaloniki University and Alzheimer Hellas on the first clinical trial in humans to evaluate the effects of high-phenolic olive oil in preventing Alzheimer’s disease.

I had the pleasure to visit Yanni’s Olive Grove in Nea Potidaia, Chalkidiki (northern Greece), where I toured their beautiful waterfront estate and spent the afternoon with the Prodromous and their family. We were joined by Athanasios Gertsis and his colleague Kostas Zoukidis, who were conducting research in the groves. Gertsis is the director of the Krinos Olive Center of the American Farm School, Thessaloniki.

The story of Yanni’s Olive Grove began in 2012, at the height of the Greek economic crisis. “We were olive tree farmers all our lives and we were selling our olives as fresh fruits to the big companies,” Yannis informed me. “Because of the economic crisis, we were forced to innovate. There is something that we say in Greece: Everything that makes me ache makes me stronger.”

After a long day of doing all sorts of things, I need to relax for a bit, so I’m going to start drafting the post dedicated to a specific city in Odyssey and I’m honestly excited because I love this stuff, but choosing WHAT city is proving to be a challenge. My heart says Thebes because by the gods, I love that place, but my brain says Argos because it’s fresh on my mind. But then I could also do smaller cities (villages is probably the better word tbh) like Potidaia or Phaistos. Knowing myself, it’s going to take a whole night to make the decision

The Aristos Fish Tavern

The lovely fish tavern Aristos is located in the small picturesque harbour of Orma Panagias.

The Aristos Fish Tavern is a great place and highly recommended restaurant with well earned reputation. This tavern is very special and there are few reasons for it. First of all, The Aristos Fish Tavern is on the beach, next to the sea. At the same time you can enjoy the excellent fresh food and feed the fish. Next interesting thing is that this restaurant represents family business. It is the third generation and the host Aristos is really proud of it.

The only annoying thing is the mosquitoes and the bees. Make sure to have a mosquito repellent with you. For the bees ask from the restaurant for raw Greek coffee and burn it. The smoke will make the bees fly away.

You can pick your own fresh fish and they will prepare it for you. Great location, fresh fish, excellent service and very friendly staff!

It’s in a great location, right on the beach. I visit Aristos every year and I always leave very satisfied. Highly recommended!

Prices very reasonable for the quality of food & service we received.
