5x expanded by AirshipJungleman29 (talk). Self-nominated at 22:24, 27 April 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Boukephala and Nikaia; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.
Sufficient and recent expansion. Both hooks interesting and mentioned in source, though I would say that ALT1 is more novel at least for readers somewhat familiar with Alexander's story. QPQ done and no copyvio detected (Earwig only flagged the bibliography). Good to go. Juxlos (talk) 07:09, 28 April 2023 (UTC)
