Quote context

[...]

- Your blood ran quick, too?

- At Cleitus' tale of the raid on Persians? Yes, it did.

- And send them marching under Philip on their holy mission to conquer Persia and destroy it.

- Will Greece follow my father?

- I do not know. Neither does he.

- Men do not easily forget years of slaughter and burning and pillage, and deep and bitter hatreds.

- Do you know how vast the Persian Empire is?

- From the Nile to the Indus, from Samarkand to Babylon.

- And beyond.

- Do you know how many different people live there?

- By heart. Carians, Armenians, Jews, Parthians, Egyptians.

- I know their customs and their gods.

- Yes. For this is more than an empire, this is Colossus. To rule it would take a man as great as you can be.
