How Alexander the Great Celebrated
His Victory over Darius
The newspaper reporters OF the time
OF Alexander the Great, had there been
any, would have had the heaviest
days work of thir lives In covering
the Interesting events that marked the
day Alexander was married. On that
day, says the New York Journal. au-
thenticatcd accounts tell US. no less
than 20.202 men and women were made
husbands and wives. Alexander had
conquered Darius OF Persia. and felt
that this great achievement was Inn
portant enough to be signalized In
conspicuous manner. Imagine tho
pride OF eonqueror who decides that
1t can be measured properly only by
wholesale giving and taking In mar
rlage the like OF w...ch the world has
never seen. Alexander himself mar
ried Statlra, the daughter OF the. con-
quered king. and decreed that one
hundred OF his chief officers should be
united to one hundred ladies from the
noblest Persian and Medean families.
In addition to this. he stipulated that
10 900 of his Greek so,uiers should
marry 10000 Aslatic women. when
everything was settled vast pavilion
was erected. the pillars OF which were
six feet high. One hundred gorgeous
chambers adJolned this for the hun
dred noble bridegrooms. while for the
10000 an outer court was inclosed out
side OF which tables were spread for
the multitude. Each pair had seats
and ranged themselves in semi-clrcles
around the royal throne. OF course
the priests could not marry this vast
number Of couples in the ordinary
way. SO Alexander the Great devised n
very simple ceremony. He gave his
hand to 5tatira and kissed her-an ex-
ample that all the bridegrooms fol-
lowed. This ended the ceremony
Then followed the festival. which last
ed five days. the grandeur OF which
has never been equaled since.
