Old Ptolemy: Our world is gone now. Smashed by the wars. Now I am the keeper of his body, embalmed here in the Egyptian ways. I followed him as Pharaoh, and have now ruled 40 years. I am the victor. But what does it all mean when there is not one left to remember - the great cavalry charge at Gaugamela, or the mountains of the Hindu Kush when we crossed a 100,000-man army into India? He was a god, Cadmos. Or as close as anything I've ever seen.

Trivia
The Irish accents you hear from the Macedonian soldiers were not there to accommodate Colin Farrell as some have asserted. As Macedonians were mostly from more remote hill tribes and were coarser and less civilized than the Greeks, the Celtic accents used in the movie serve to portray fictionally the difference between them and the more refined Greeks, who speak in a more upper class, English accent. Many critics and audience members failed to understand this device. See more »Goofs
Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Olympias is telling Alexander that Zeus is his father, she says "I laid with him that night", but her mouth isn't moving. See more »Quotes
