A kiss between men: Netflix documentary sparks anger around Alexander. Read here whether it's worth tuning in and why Greece's conservative politicians would prefer to ban the series about their national hero.
It's about a passionate kiss. Traded between the Macedonian prince and his closest companion Hephaestion. The international historians who have their say in the Netflix series agree: Alexander was (also) attracted to men. Same-sex relationships were so normal in ancient Greece that there wasn't even a word for homosexuality. There is a lot of intrigue, murder and fighting going on.
