Alexandrum iracundia sua propemodum caelo deripuit: nam quid obstitit quominus illuc adsurgeret nisi Lysimachus leoni obiectus et Clitus hasta traiectus et Callisthenes mori iussus, quibus tres maximas victorias totidem amicorum iniustis caedibus victas reddidit?
Alexanders irascibility almost snatched him from heaven. For what stood in the way of his ascending thither except for Lysimachus exposed to a lion and Clitus transfixed by a spear and Callisthenes ordered to die? Thereby he turned three great victories into defeats with an equal number of unjustified slayings of his friends.
