Book 1, Chapter Four: The Olympic Games, Pages 83 and 84
growls Alexander angrily.
It is only due to the gods’ mercy for Nikolaos
that Alexander is held back from fisticuffs by the quick arms of Hephaestion.
Nikolaos cooes,
“Aww.
I can’t wait to destroy you,
in honour of my dear old father.
You know…
the one yours killed in battle!”
Nikolaos spits at Alexander’s feet, and then,
bids him a mocking farewell.
“We’re done.
Bye-bye, kiddo.”
Alexander breaks away from Hephaestion’s arms,
shouts at haughty Nikolaos’ back.
“I swear!
I swear by Zeus and my ancestor Heracles!
I will beat you in this race!
And one day, soon,
in your own country.
Just you wait.”
