Barsine (died 309 BC)  A mural in Pompeii, Italy, depicting the marriage of Alexander the Great to Barsine (also called Stateira), daughter of the Persian ruler Darius III, in 324 BC. The couple are apparently dressed as Ares and Aphrodite (divinities of war and love, respectively), which is no doubt appropriate to the way they thought of themselves, but mythologically inept – as Pompeiians would have known. | Daughter of Artabazus, satrap (Persian provincial governor) of Bithynia, wife of the mercenary general Memnon, and mother of Heracles by Alexander the Great, King of Macedonia. After the death of Alexander 323 BC, she was murdered, together with her son, by the Macedonian general Polyperchon, by order of Roxana, Alexander's Bactrian wife. |

| Although Barsine did little to enhance her reputation at three, her late-developing older full-brother, Algallerens, came good with four victories at four and had Barsine behind him when placed fourth in the Group 3 Prix de Ris-Orangis won by Zipping in July 2002. This film will be based on a trilogy of books by Italian historian Valerio Massimo Manfredi, who carefully airbrushed out the gay content from the classical texts and focused on a dramatic straight love affair with Barsine, the wife of one of Alexander's conquered kings, Memnon of Rhodes. Her two-year-old Flighty Fellow, who cost Tim Easterby just 7,000gns as a yearling, three-year-old Barsine and the year-older Algallarens are all winners this season. |
