Zeus gathered all the gods and goddesses together in his great court. "My son, Alexander, is growing up. I expect great things for him. He is going to do mangificent deeds. I expect that each one of you is going to help him in his mission while on earth and in mortal man's form."
"There will be time enough for each one of you to assist not only Alexander but also his entire family, mother, father, armies, friends and companions so that the rule of Zeus will spread throughout the entire land, " he added.
Zeus sat tall and proud on his throne which was perched high in the clouds as he amused himself watching the earthlings, mortal beings, weave their way through the world, enjoying commerce, trade, philosophy, the arts, music, and culture.
"I have decreed that Alexander shall rule all of Asia Minor, Greece, Egypt, and India until I shall end his days in Babylon. He shall journey far and wide. His mother and his father shall be the cause of his greatness in the world. He will spread my kingdom far and wide. Together, all of us will help him to supplant the old religions of that great empire called Persia," announced Father Zeus CloudGatherer.
"Each one of you is charged to use your particular gift and talent to enable Alexander to achieve his goals. We shall begin influencing him in his youth so that by the time he achieves manhood, he will be able to take over the business that his father has begun," Almighty Zeus continued.
"Yeah, Yeah,!" All the gods and goddesses murmured together as one. "We approve. We agree."
"Alexander is your special charge at this time," he continued. "He will be endowed with genius, vitality, swiftness of foot, quickness and mental clarity, gifted with spiritual insights, possess great psychic abilities. Through dreams he shall be counseled and advised. He will be well endowed physically, with great muscular strength and a strong physical body. His senses shall be keen and true. He shall be like the immortals except that he will be with men who are mortal."
