None of you, whether you are rejoicing or lamenting at the prospect of Barsine's reappearance, seems to have noticed the key point in her self serving statement.
What is this she is babbling about Alexander having back-stabbed Darius? Is she dreaming, or is she high on some drug?Darius was beaten fair and square on the battlefield of Issus, and if the CVs had not swallowed Gaugamela, he would have beaten him twice. After which Darius abandoned his family and ran away. Where on earth did Alexander back-stab Darius?The one who back-stabbed Darius was his friend Bessus, aided and abetted by Barsine's new BFF, Roxanne.Now if Roxanne would only prepone things a good bit, and murder Barsine right now, instead of waiting till after Alexander died, I would be profoundly grateful to her, and would even be prepared to tolerate her continued existence in this show, preferably standing around silently, as she did tonight!Shyamala Aunty
