Between Alexander and Olympia...When ever he addresses to anyone he call himself as son of Olympias...as evident from all the letters I posted in other thread...he carved his mother only on gold coins...thou they exchange many letters this one is really moving...
This letter from Olympia to Alexander asking him to come back...timeline I think is Indian invasion...

''Trust no one, that correneus, elipad, ptomely all Lykos waiting to take my lion. About Haphestian I am undecided, thou decide thyself. Now you have crossed the seas, proud be dinosyus of thou. You married a shining star; won wealth and glory. Eagle is fying highest; now is the time to come back to my embrace. For I have nothing but you. To whom shall I sing to sleep.I wish- I wish we could spend more time together. Like we used to when you were the sweetest boy. A mother loves too much and eternal; difficult to escape from a mother. One day, you will understand this. ''


Shining star is Roxana hereh ...lykas means wolfsy

What a lovely, moving letter! So tender and loving, especially the part about singing :"the sweetest boy" to sleep, like our lori. And the confession that wrings one's heart: For I have nothing but you... A mother loves too much.The tragedy of her never having been able to see him again after he left for Persia.

She loved her son above all else and above herself, and was always afraid that harm might come to him from an associate, even more than from an enemy. So she did not even trust Hephaestion?

How I wish he had heeded her call and gone back!

This also shows that how even the vicious woman like her can also be emotional...don't know how to feel about her though ...knowing what she did...
