Hey! I'd love to hear your thoughts, send me a voice note.
Tonight, follow the life of Alexander the Great from the royal court of Macedon to the distant rivers of India, and finally to Babylon, where one of the most extraordinary journeys of the ancient world came to an end.
This long, slow history sleep story traces Alexander’s life from his childhood in Pella and his education under Aristotle, through the conquest of the Persian Empire, the great battles at Issus and Gaugamela, the siege of Tyre, his years in Central Asia, and the long march toward the edge of the known world.
But this is not a story told in a hurry.
Rather than focusing only on battles and victories, we follow the quieter thread beneath them all: the roads, rivers, deserts, cities, friendships, losses, and years of walking east that gradually transformed a young Macedonian king into Alexander the Great.
Settle in, lower the lights, and let the story carry on without you needing to reach the end.
If sleep finds you somewhere along the road, then the evening has done exactly what it came here to do.
