Document Summary
Sent into exile because phillip was angry at alexander: hephaistion: went to school with alexander, same age as him. Some sources suggest may have been lovers as well as friends: ptolemy: about 10 years older than alexander. Took a part of alexander"s land after he died: nearchos: greek not macedonian, become alexander"s commanders during his campaign, harpalos: good friend of alexander when they were younger. Trusted with alexander in later years with financial duties. Harpalos embezzled so,e of alexander"s money like an insect: philotas son of permenion: a coworker of alexander not really a close friend to. Part of a noble family therefore hangs with alexander but not close: kassander, son of antipater: one of phillips officers (antipater). Kassander did not go on the campaign with alexander because he didn"t like kassander or didn"t trust him. Murder at the games(how alexander comes to the throne, when phillip is murdered) Plans to invade asia and persian empire.
