Quote context

[...]

- Therefore, we command you, withdraw and return. Go back to the bosom of your mother Olympias.

- For you are still an impudent and shameless boy, who in your madness and ignorance have come to Asia with your band of robbers to do mischief.

- I send you a whip, a ball and a bag of gold. The whip to train you.

- The ball so that you may play with boys of your own age and not meddle in the affairs of men.

- And the gold for expenses. For I have heard that you are poor, and since I have gold as abundant as the sunlight, you need not come to Asia as a thief to steal it.

- You should not have informed us of your vast amounts of gold and silver, because now we will fight harder until all your possessions are ours.

- Nor have called me thief and boy, for if you slay me, it will not be accounted a great triumph, because you will have slain merely a robber chief.

- But if I slay you, which I intend to do, it will be said that this great king and warrior died by the hand of a little Greek boy.

- For I am coming against you, and, having entrusted myself to the immortal gods, I shall be victorious over you.

- Does he make camp?
