No less a Makedonian than Kleitos, he did not make light of his own contribution. But his overbearing and impulsive nature was inclined to arouse the hostility not so much of Alexander as of his younger Companions. These were men of the aristocracy, from whom the Makedonians drew their generals and governors.
