As his campaign of world conquest wore on, Alexander’s spells of getting riotously intoxicated tended to increase in magnitude. One that took place in the palace of Persepolis began with all-star Athenian prostitute Thais suggesting “Hey, we should burn down this palace” and ended somewhat hazily later with the palace of Persepolis burned to the ground.
At another, Alexander took offense to somebody suggesting that his success was partially due to the foundation that his father Philip had set for him, and so he more or less murdered the guy, but felt pretty bad about it afterward.
So, yes, shit went down when Alexander got in a drinkin frame of mind…

Alexander the Great, Frederick the Great, and Peter the Great are all within yards and seconds of each other – undoubtedly this will turn out well. Just in CASE it doesn’t, though, you might want to check out Episode 251: All Things Great!
