HERODOT BUCH:V,20,21,22.(TERPSIHORI) IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE.

20."Methinks, dear Persians, that your entertainment has fallen short in nothing. We have set before you all that we had ourselves in store, and all that we could anywhere find to give you- and now, to crown the whole, we make over to you our sisters and our mothers, that you may perceive yourselves to be entirely honoured by us, even as you deserve to be- and also that you may take back word to the king who sent you here, that there was one man, a Greek, the satrap of Macedonia, by whom you were both feasted and lodged handsomely." So speaking, Alexander set by the side of each Persian one of those whom he had called Macedonian women, but who were in truth men. And these men, when the Persians began to be rude, despatched them with their daggers.

21.So the ambassadors perished by this death, both they and also their followers. For the Persians had brought a great train with them, carriages, and attendants, and baggage of every kind- all of which disappeared at the same time as the men themselves. Not very long afterwards the Persians made strict search for their lost embassy; but Alexander, with much wisdom, hushed up the business, bribing those sent on the errand, partly with money, and partly with the gift of his own sister Gygaea, whom he gave in marriage to Bubares, a Persian, the chief leader of the expedition which came in search of the lost men. Thus the death of these Persians was hushed up, and no more was said of it.

22.Now that the men of this family are Greeks, sprung from Perdiccas, as they themselves affirm, is a thing which I can declare of my own knowledge, and which I will hereafter make plainly evident. That they are so has been already adjudged by those who manage the Pan-Hellenic contest at Olympia. For when Alexander wished to contend in the games, and had come to Olympia with no other view, the Greeks who were about to run against him would have excluded him from the contest- saying that Greeks only were allowed to contend, and not barbarians. But Alexander proved himself to be an Argive, and was distinctly adjudged a Greek; after which he entered the lists for the foot-race, and was drawn to run in the first pair. Thus was this matter settled. Vergina 23:00, 25. Aug 2003 (CEST)

Ja, aber wenn ich das richtig sehe, dann hat Alexander I teilgenommen, aber so richtig gewollt haben die Griechen das noch nicht - er musste sie erst "breitquatschen". Wenn ich das richtig sehe, hatten sie "so richtig" Zugang erst später - eventuell unter Philip II? - Der hat ja wohl ganz "offiziell" teilgenommen. Ich bin leider nicht im Thema drin, vielleicht kannst Du Dich ja mal schlau machen. Wer da wann teilnehmen durfte, scheint ja immer ein rechte Zankapfel und immer wieder ein geeignetes Feld für die damaligen Größen gewesen zu sein, sich zu zeigen - also die Spiele zu politisieren.
