  • The story is that a guest (uncle?) made a toast at Alexander's father's marriage that the new union would provide a legitimate heir to the thrown of Macedonia. Alexander threw a cup at the man and some say may have killed him. Alexander's father (Philip) raised his sword to Alexander and stumbled and Alexander responded by saying something like: "He's getting ready to cross from Europe to Asia, and he falls crossing from couch to couch." http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,952853,00.html "Here is the man who was making ready to cross from Europe to Asia, and who cannot even cross from one table to another without losing his balance." http://faq.macedonia.org/history/alexander.the.great.html
