Description
King Alexander and his beautiful eunuch Bagoas. Symbol of the reunification of Greek and Persian culture, the reunification of the great Macedonian Empire. Symbol of the great men love that unites the Empire.
According to history Bagoas was not only beloved, but also a friend and advisor of Alexander, his favorite whom he respected and to which the king demanded respect of his subjects, the Macedonians and Persians. Bagoas was not a sex toy and a slave as many people think, because of the incorrect information.
In Persia, the eunuchs had a high position: they were intelligent, powerful, and often became the second person after the king. They are the favorites of the kings, with whom they could have a close relationship. For example, Xerxes had a favorite eunuch Aspamitra, Cyrus had a favorite eunuch Bagapati, Artaxerxes II had the eunuch of great beauty Tiridates. All these eunuchs had higher status and greater power.

The detail here is so intricate, but neat enough to pick out individual things and not feel too crowded. The subjects are absolutely beautiful and the storybook quality suites them.
