Alexander appoints Cleitus satrap of Bactria town...Cleitus was warrior but now he can't fight...he drinks too much wine...and began abusing Alexander..
Cleitus: calls oxyratis fat bas***d ...Alexander laughs

Haphestian is a sycophant ...Alexander laughs even haphestian laughs...
I save your ass in the battle...Alexander laughs again...

You are disgrace to the name of your father...

Alexander says Philip was indeed legend...

You married a woman who is lower class worthless...and will never give you a heir...

At this time people start to leave...Alexander orders to take Cleitus to his chamber...

Cleitus comes back and says that Alexander should not compare himself with Achilles because Achilles was lone warrior while Alexander won because of his army...

Alexander says I have achieved more than Achilles...

haphestian and selucus intervene but Cleitus is stronger than both...

Then more insults at Roxana and her idiot family...Alexander listening...letting him go...note at this point Alex wasn't legally married to Roxana ...she was his vengeful gf😆

Calls Alexander a fake Macedonian ...

Calls him a normad...

Calls him not worthy of being emperor of world for he listen to only sycophants...

Alexander orders his soldiers to take Cleitus out...Cleitus comes back and calls Olympia a witch...

Alexander throws his goblet and apple at him...Both get into a fist fight... haphestian intervenes...

Cleitus calls Olympia an enchantress and murderer...Alexander impales him with his spear...thus dies his best warrior😊

Cleitus was trained by Philip himself...he was said to be legendary with sword...he was most trusted general of Alexander ...note haphestian was his best friend but Cleitus was his best general...selucus ptomely and others were under him...only Cleitus was allowed to feed bucephalus they say...
Alexander mourned his death for three days...confining himself to his chamber...Cleitus was given royal funeral...Cleitus respected Olympia a lot...historians say that he brought her name only to ignite the waning fire in Alexander...it is note worthy that he didn't bring olympia name untill end when he realized that Alexander is too calm and careless now...he didn't like Alexander getting friendly with lower asian classes ...he was Barsine supporter also...

Cleitus very strongly disliked all Persians & their customs , even he was against bagaos whom alexander was found off.
