see here is where i'm starting to doubt the stuff i'm reading in the story so far. Hepaestion was a real guy, he was a close friend to Alexander and possibly his lover. he wasn't imaginary like the author is trying to claim.
@Doomer Kind of seems like the story is going to be branching off into myth. A similar historical story that did stuff like this was Aisopos. Told the stories of Aesop but in a basically fantasy world similar to his fables.
I feel the same way. I was kind of enjoying what a slightly historical telling of the life of Eumenes but I guess this is fine. Even if it does seem a bit wasteful. They need to add a fantasy tag to this.
