Eagle

Rating: Null/10 (29 November 2004)

Just to remind, because I saw someone fall in ecstasy because of the genius idea of the eagle soaring in the sky, thinking he is the symbol of Alexander's dreams, blablabla
I think it's more pragmatic than that : The Eagle is simply the animal symbol of Zeus. No more, no less. When you don't see the eagle anymore, it doesn't mean the dreams of Alexander vanished, no, it means only Zeus abandoned his child - mythologically speaking - because he went too far. Zeus, as a good Greek deity, has limited ambitions : revenge and sex. He had sex with Olympias, and he wants revenge on the Persians. For Alexander to go over Babylon was not planned.
No?

See you when they will remake Odysseus !
