Yes Darius palace...

No she just loved roxane like her daughter don't know the reason and hated Barsine and sasygambis don't know why...

''You let Roxane share loaf with her. Have you no shame!''

''''Esther be thy concubine for life, be shall never be the wife''

I think Esther is another name for Barsine...

Don't know the meaning of plagues of my night but I think she is calling Barsine and sasygambis a plague😭

Here's another letter to sasygambis when she said she will pray for Alexander and equalises him with Zeus
Here too mamma boy starts with his mummy's name...

'''' Alexander I son of olympias, these words are strange and useless; I do not seek that men should honour me as they do the gods, for I am a mortal man, and I am afraid of anything like this, for there is a heavy penalty for a man when he goes beyond his proper limit I applaud you and praise your knowledge, for when I made trial of your wisdom it pleased me ; and I wrote a letter to Olympias my mother and begged of her the favour that she would come to my marriage feast, if it so pleased her."

Even to Roxane he wrote himself like this...here too it's all about mummy..
''Alexander sends greetings to Roxane. When I wrote to my mother Olympias about other matters that had come up, I enjoined upon her to send to me the possessions, jewelry and robes, of the mother of Darius and of his wife Stateira''

Another...
From alexander to his dear mother Olympias, departing from there, we came to a verdant place where there were giant-like wild men, as big as the first, barrel-chested, hairy, and reddish coloured. And they had faces like lions. And others called Oxoli had hair four long, and they were as wide as a spear. These very powerful men came to us in tunics of rawhide, ready to fight without spears or arrows. They slew many of our group. And since many of our friends and youths were lost, I ordered that a blaze be started in order to fight them with fire. Thus the men went away, And of our soldiers, losses numbered 120,000; I ordered that pyres be lit and their remaining bones be taken to Spetriada. But they disappeared completely. And we quickly entered their caves and found tied to their doors wild beasts as large as the dogs we call (?) Dankenes four long, three-eyed, and of motley colouring.
