You want an anecdote about Alexander the Great? Hmm. I think I have something in my library. It described him as a person who was not make decisions influenced by legends or superstitions. Look at my archaeology shelf. I believe the town that appears in the anecdote was located on the west coast of the Anatolian peninsula.
