1∞ The truth of Alexander's origin.

3∞ The truth of his "lightstone" (Lapis Luxor)

4∞ The fountain of youth that Alexander happened across.

5∞ The Alexander/Moses/Gilgamesh connection. (A friend told me ALEXANDER= Al(El) Lex=Law ANDER=Man thus⊕≈⊕The Law of God to Man⊕≈⊕

There's an Anime series out now called Reign: The Conqueror that is all about the mystical side of Alaxander the great. Its wacky. Peter Chung (of Aeon Fluxx) characterizations. Its full of Pythagriean cults, Zorastrian angels, and giant war machines. Um, not entirely done in historical details (unless you like fire breathing elephants from persia in your histories), but it does go all into the sort of things you mentioned here.

"Aleksandros" means "defender of men" from "aleksein" - to keep off or ward off - and "aner" - man.

As for the true origin - do you mean the historical details, or is there some magical "true" origin that I am not aware of.

Oh, and if he found a fountain of youth, it was a pretty shit one...

Um, not entirely done in historical details (unless you like fire breathing elephants from persia in your histories)

Or a world in which no one ever, ever wears pants (Just codpieces and ass plates), and has zero percent body fat, until they're old, at which point they suddenly shrink a foot and get a pot belly.

You might consider picking up some Aristotle, he tutored Alexander for a while.
