Original subtitles

Hellas, the Mother Earth goddess Hella...

...she was born from chaos and was the goddess of motherly love.

A high priestess of dark rituals, Olympias, the mother of Alexander...

...was a descendant of Hella.

This is the meaning of ''Hellenism. ''

To the north and west lie the lands of the barbaric Celts...

...and to the east in the continent of Asia exists the vast empire of Persia.

Squeezed between them, our Macedonia and Greece...

...is the small area here.

Even though it is not on the map...

...farther east, beyond Persia, beyond the edge of the world...

...is said to be a land called India, where pagan gods reside.

However, Alexander...

...those are nothing but the lands of barbarians. They are not true states.

A state is what is called a polis...

...where we, the descendants of Hella, reside is the only legitimate state.

Alexander!

So here is the edge of the world.

Right flank heavy infantry, move forward!

-What's our situation? -It's hanging in the balance.

The Greek army have their backs to the wall.

Our left flank infantry is being pushed back.

That's where Prince Alexander is in command.

But none of his soldiers has made a move so far.

Attalos, what are you saying?

l regret to say that it is a fact that our infantry is being pushed back.

Since the prince has not moved thus far, I'm afraid he might be scared.

Send a messenger to Alexander.

Cleitus, isn't this your first war too?

Yes. But look at the prince.

It's hard to believe it is his first too.

Prince!

A messenger came from the king. He says, ''Move forward now!''

Prince!

Why hasn't Alexander moved yet?

We shouldn't have let him take command of our left flank.

Attalos, watch what you say!

It is dangerous here. Please retreat to the rear, Your Majesty.

Alexander!

I see it!

Destroy!

The prince! The prince's cavalry has attacked!

Our enemy's main army has been dealt a death blow!

Our army has won.

Horrible.

Our king is victorious.

Blessed is our king!

Give thanks to our king!

Crown our king with victory!

Long live our king!

Hurray! Long live our king!

The first war for my son, prince, ended with a wonderful outcome.

The king, your father, and the queen, your mother, are pleased.

Magnificent job, Alexander!

Yes.

Alexander, why did you not move?

Why didn't you move your army when l sent you a messenger?

Because of speed.

Are you saying you didn't move because you were seeking speed?

Speed is like an arrow shot from a bow.

Unless the bow is drawn enough, the arrow can't be shot at full strength.

Shut up!

Are you insinuating my order was wrong?

Alexander!

Alexander!

Attalos, what do you need?

I'm concerned about your well-being.

Unless l have good news for you, why would l show up in front of you?

Go on.

Everyone in the town of Pella is talking...

...about the prince's success in the war.

They believe the victory is solely due to the prince's war instincts.

I'm proud of Alexander's good reputation.

Of course you are.

l heard that the queen is more pleased than Your Majesty...

...about the good reputation of the prince.

She dotes upon him too much.

-More than upon you, Your Majesty? -More than on me.

That is why l, your loyal servant Attalos, have come to the rescue.

My daughter, Eurydice, Your Majesty.

What do you mean by this?

Your Majesty, you should divorce the queen.

Why?

It's hard to believe you uttered such a word.

It's a widespread rumor that the queen is known...

...to serve the lascivious pagan gods.

It's obvious she is unworthy of our Macedonian king...

...who is the leading power of the Greek world.

Because of the queen's behavior...

...some are questioning the paternity of the prince.

Alexander is my son!

lf your Majesty thinks so....

l wonder if the prince has the same belief.

lf he loves you as his father, why would he act...

...as if he was going to stand by and watch you face death?

He said he was waiting for the best time.

Best time? Is it more important than the life of one's own father?

You are already the strongest and greatest.

You're still young and the leading power of Greece.

You could even go on to defeat the great power of Persia.

What is required of the prince of such a king...

...is not pretentious talent in the battlefield, but true loyalty.

You can focus on the battles in the field...

...only when you eradicate the worries of home.

Your Majesty, take a new queen.

When your new queen gives birth to a new child, all will be well.

I assure you, all will be well.

My son, Alexander. Here, here. Let me see your face more clearly.

Beautiful face. Soon you will destroy the world with this face, won't you?

Have you called for me, Father?

Philotas, how is the prince?

What? Uh, yes.

He has the full trust and support of the soldiers.

The prince has responded positively...

...and he has been busy directing training sessions for the cavalry.

Wonderful. It is a pleasure for both of us...

...that he has begun to be aware of his responsibilities as heir. However...

What's wrong?

Trouble is brewing.

That bastard, Attalos, is inspiring the king with some ideas.

Sir Attalos?

Well, I hope it will prove groundless.

We have a report from your secret agents in Persia.

Gigantic columns!

We always saw them only from a distance.

l still can't believe that we're here.

The only reason we can enter here is our reputation from the battle.

Where is Alexander?

He is the one who called us, but he is nowhere to be been.

Hephaestion, do you know where Alexander is?

No. Perhaps at his mother's.

The queen's? Again?

Alexander battles like a demonic god, but he is so loving to his mother.

This is a strange garden. Look at the shape of this pond, Cleitus.

Indeed. It is such a strange shape. I wonder what this is?

-It is the world. -What?

This? The world?

This is Europe. And over there is Asia.

The world consists of these two.

Where is Macedonia?

Then, what about Athens?

Are you serious? So close? Then what about the remaining vast land?

A true political state means a polis.

Even Macedonia is not compatible with a polis yet.

What is currently important is to eliminate the threat of Persia.

Until then, King Philip and Alexander are chess pieces under my control.

You must be Aristotle, former member of the Academy.

You bastards! The disciples of Pythagoras!

Please tell us where the Platohedron are.

What?

We've asked almost everyone at the Academy in Athens.

But none knew where they disappeared.

Thus, you, who separated from Plato and left the Academy 20 years ago...

...must be the only one who knows where the ultimate treasure is.

What will you do when you find it?

-Destroy it. -What?

Since Alexander cannot be killed easily any longer...

...it is imperative we eliminate it first...

...in which the Arhetos is sealed to avoid the worst-case scenario.

Did you say Arhetos? What does that have to do with Alexander?

Even a great philosopher like yourself...

...does not know the knowledge your master Plato stole from us.

So, please answer us.

Where can we find the Platohedron?

Uncle! Are you all right, Uncle?

You saved me, Cassandra.

So this is the world.

How vast!

Cleitus, l will... this world....

You will overthrow the world, my son.

Prince, here you are. I have urgent news to tell you.

-What is it? -Political uproar is brewing in Persia.

What?

The king of Persia, Artaxerxes III, was assassinated.

The man who took over and replaced him is Darius III.

Darius III? What kind of fellow is he?

According to our secret agent, he is known as the shining King of the World.

The shining King of the World.

Olympias, Queen of Epeiros...

...for the crime of serving lascivious pagan gods...

...you are banished from the throne!

How imprudent!

The order comes from King Philip himself.

Prince! Even you are not allowed to act like this!

What is it, Alexander?

Father, I hear you divorced Mother.

Yeah.

Look into my eyes!
