Groovy Greeks
So what should we call this new city, O' Alexander
- Oh sorry. O' Alexander the Great - Yeah
I think
we should call it ...
"Alexandria"
After our great
and powerful leader. Where is he?
Where is he?
Where is he?
There he is!
Well, you have founded a whole chain of cities from
- Greece to India - Indeed, I have
You named this one Alexandria
You named this one Alexandria, didn't you?
And there's Alexandria, Alexandria, and further east there's Alexandria.
OK. Let's not forget Alexandria
Now that's it.
That's the thing. I think it might be getting a bit confusing, don't you?
Can we, perhaps, name this new one after someone else?
OK
I am the greatest military commander
that ever lived. I've conquered the known world
and I am barely 26 years old
Perhaps when you found your own city,
you can name it after yourself
You could call it ... mmm ... "Skinny-man-dira"
But since I'm founding them,
I'd like to call it
"Alexandria". OK?
Yes, sir
No. Actually do you know what? Perhaps you're right
A great military ruler also listens to his advicer. It is getting a bit confusing
- I think we should call it "İskenderun" - "İskenderun"?
Great!
- Why "İskenderun"? - It's Turkish
- Is it Turkish for "Alexandria"? - Yes!
Horrible Histories!
