Alexander was the most poweful man in the world and could do literally anything he put his mind to, but couldn’t save the person he loved the most from death. I think he felt this tragedy in his very bones.

This is so perfect. Water and Fire. One of the best scenes of them, ever! I will bookmark this for eternity. I can feel our Jeanne Reames behind it, because they are totally DWTL Aleko/Phai grown up🥹

Jared Leto as Hephaestion
So, Jared Leto is about to get cancelled, and possibly prosecuted, for inappropriate sexual behaviour around young girls, as per this BBC documentary
The actor and musician faces allegations from 10 women in total who say he mistreated them as teenagers.
Does this invalidate his work as Hephaestion in Oliver Stone's 2004 film 'Alexander'? His portrayal as Alexander's closest friend drew in a lot of people to the Alexander story who otherwise may never have had any interest in Alexander. It is not known whether this alleged behaviour by Leto dates as far back as 2004, but rumours about his sexual behaviour have been circulating for a good ten years or so.
Have these allegations changed your view of Jared Leto's portrayal of Hephaestion in Alexander (2004)?
No, it was too long ago
No, acting is separate from real life
Yes, will never watch the film again
Yes, will watch the film with sadness
Other reaction
Hephaistion or Hephaestion?
Given that I have a strong preference for the Greek transliteration (ai), I wondered about the rest of you? Do you have a preference, especially a strong one?
Also, as native language can matter (e.g., Germans use Greek transliterations, Italians use Latin), if English isn't your native language and you typically read about ATG in your own language, add it in tags. And, of course, reblog. :-)
Forgot to add Hefestion. Apologies! Put that in tags!
Which spelling do you prefer
Hephaistion, and it's a strong preference
Hephaistion, but it's not a strong preference
Hephaestion, and it's a strong preference
Hephaestion, and it's not a strong preference
I genuinely don't care (even a little bit)
Just show me the responses
forgot to upload this to tumblr—a paint-sketch of Hephaistion from Dancing with the Lion by @jeannereames, based on the final scene in Rise! Was such a joy to read these books, so many neat historical details and depth given to the characters 🥰
