There is a concept of perfect numbers.

According to Euclid's Elements, the first perfect number is six.

On the other hand, for the Pythagorean scholar...

...the concept included all points, lines, planes, and space...

...and its diagram was considered a holy emblem embodying...

...the harmony and order of the universe -- that is Tetractys.

New attendees of the holy secret ceremony!

The secret to be revealed to you shall not be mentioned to anyone!

Understand?

That is...

That's a princess of Epirus.

That's the princess of Epirus, Olympias...

Hephaestion.

Spring is a good time.

Hephaestion's opinion is correct.

King, wait!

It's too early to fight against Persia!

At least after you got your bride.

The decision has been made, you two.

Mysia, Lydia, Caria.

These were Greece's colonies originally.

To save these people who have suffered under Persia's control...

...is the duty of our King Alexander, the King of Hera's.

Troops on horses from Thessaly have arrived!

Infantry from Thoricus has arrived.

Pioneer and Eleusis forces have arrived.

Is that so?!

Finally you're ready to destroy the world!

How long have I been waiting for this day?

The day the prophecy becomes reality.

You are adorable, Alexander.

Listen. You're the gods' child.

Almighty Zeus changed himself into a snake...

...and he came to me.

I will never forget that time of ecstasy.

The time when his thunder was speared into me...

The moment my whole body glowed like a flame.

Mother, was it the secret ceremony at Samotrace Island?

What have you asked?!

The secret ceremony shall never be mentioned.

Anyone who reveals the secret will be punished!

That's a secret ceremony among secrets!

Are you asking me to talk about it?!

I'm sorry. I'll never ask you.

That disgusting Philip II attended the holy secret ceremony...

...by pretending to become a believer...

...in order to find the secret.

Your mother was deceived by him and became his wife.

Alexander.

Yes!

You sometimes remind me of him.

That's enough. Go back.

Yes.

Alexander is finally going to fight against Persia.

Yes. Our Athens military is joining him...

...and it will be the largest military force ever.

But I've heard that the Persian military is bigger.

If he wins, that's good.

But if he loses, we'll be in big trouble, too.

Yes...

I'm sure it definitely has a meaning.

What are you talking about?

Oh, teacher.

No, it's nothing.

But he said he saw something strange...

...on the street at the end of the town.

So we're talking about what it was.

Something strange?

Yes. Little rocks that were arranged like this.

This is...!

Do you know it, teacher?

Tetractys!

Tetractys!

What should we do, Parmenion?

Don't ask me, Antipater.

To tell you the truth...

...I'm afraid...

You mean the prophecy...

...that King Alexander will destroy the world?

That, too.

But not only that...

What's the matter?

No, nothing.

Anyway, I won't accompany the expeditionary force.

I'll ask you for the rest, Parmenion.

Wait a minute.

Here you are, Father.

Here comes my son.

Father...!

Now you're giving the king advice, instead of me.

Because of you, we are now useless.

Philotas, take care of your father.

I don't want to repeat myself, but your advice is just too cowardly.

Cowardly? Are you saying I'm a coward?

It's true that Persia is a big country.

But we have to fight against them sooner or later.

It has nothing to do with Persia.

What?

AII right. I'll tell you what I am really afraid of.

I must tell you who your king really is!

Who our king really is?

I've always thought I would have to tell you.

So this is a good time.

Please wait.

Hey!

You!

Mister, what are you doing?! I was sleeping comfortably.

This is not a bedroom.

Go back to your nest.

Good night, sirs!

Good night!

They understand our language.

Is that the king's...?

The king knew everything about Attalos' scheme.

Tetractys is the Pythagorean Cult's Emblem...

Who are they...?

Arhetos is locked in it.

Now we can't kill Alexander easily.

In order to avoid the worst-case scenario...

...it's necessary to eliminate it.

Arhetos?

What's the relationship...

...between Alexander and Platohedron?

Even the great philosopher doesn't have the knowledge...

...that your teacher Plato stole from us...

Arhetos. The thing cannot be spoken.

Arhetos is in Platohedron?

But I wonder what this has to do with Alexander.

I can't believe that happened...

It's a fact. During the review of the new troops that year...

...suddenly Lady Olympias told us the prophecy from the gods.

Received a prophecy from the gods!

The world will be destroyed...

...by my child to be born.

I can't believe it... That king will...

King Alexander will destroy the world?

The horrible things that happened after that.

King Philip II who heard this prophecy prohibited us...

...from talking about it.

Then he took the lives of all 1 ,000 of the new soldiers at the review!

Those soldiers were younger than you are now...

Even now when I think about it, it makes me sick.

Attalos was executed...

Only Antipater and I know this now.

There was such a secret at the king's birth...

Lady Olympias is a truly terrifying person.

She was filled with joy to hear that her son will destroy the world.

Son, do you know how the former king met Lady Olympias?

If I remember correctly, they met for the first time...

...at the Cabeiroi ceremony at Samotrace Island...

...and fell in love.

That's still a favorite subject among women in the palace.

That's right.

But no one knew what really happened to the two...

...at the secret ceremony.

Except one man.

Who is the man?

Philotas, this is a good opportunity.

I'm going to pass on to you...

...something only I have known.

Even Antipater doesn't know of his existence.

This evening, I may hear the secret I don't even know.

Father, where are we going?

Several years ago...

...a man visited the former king at the palace.

He's a thief who escaped from Thoricus.

Usually he would have been caught and taken away.

But he claimed that he was a brother of King Philip II.

How could he be the former king's brother?

You know...

...that one who attends the same secret ceremony...

...will be treated as a brother until he dies.

The man attended the secret ceremony with King Philip II...

That's right.

The king treated him warmly...

...and ordered me to protect him.

Are you saying he is in this underground?

For a month, he's been sick and facing death.

Don't feel pity. He deserves it after he gave in to pleasure.

Father.

I hear that no one is supposed to talk about the secret ceremony.

That's right.

The one who reveals the secret faces death.

No matter what this man knows, it's impossible to hear it from him.

Certainly, until now.

It's been a while.

Your life won't last much longer.

Why don't you tell us about when you and the former king...

...attended the secret ceremony of Cabeiroi?

I know your attendance at the secret ceremony...

...is not from your faith.

You happened to escape to that island when you were a thief.

If you tell us about that night...

...we'll get your family out of prison in Thoricus...

...and bring them to Macedonia.

That woman is a witch.

Cleitus won again.

No one can match him with spears.

- I agree. - Yeah.

Anyone?! Is there anyone who wants to challenge Cleitus?

How about you guys?!

Me? No, no!

May I challenge him?

Oh, it's Antigonos.

Antigonos and Cleitus. This is a great match!

Oh, Sir Antigonos, the hero of numerous battles.

I thought you retired a long time ago.

Watch your mouth, cub.

I'II teach you the fear of spears which have been through hell!

Hey! Antigonos and Cleitus are going to duel!

- Really?! - Great!

Without reservation... Here I come!

- He's strong! - Never lost!

I thought I might lose for a moment.

Please forgive me for my rude remarks earlier.

I wanted to do this with you when I was younger.

Cleitus, I guess no one wants to challenge you anymore.

Not really.

That knight is a match for Cleitus.

Enough!

If you were using a real spear, you couldn�t have cut Cleitus' spear.

You lost, Cassandra.

Prince!

Woman...!

Prince, you remember me...

...although you haven't seen me for many years.

You have improved your skills, Cassandra.

Yes. With these skills, I was told by my uncle...

...to protect the prince.

Oh, excuse me. I have to call you king now.

I don't care.

Who is that woman?

I don't know.

Macedonia is...! The allied forces of Macedonia and Greece...

...are gathering in Amphipolis!

Soon they'll come across the Hellespont Canal.

It appears that they're going to attack the shores along Mysia.

What?!

We don't need to panic.

No matter what that small country in the outlying area does...

...it's impossible for them to even scratch our empire.

That's right. It is always the pattern...

...for them to start a battle to try to get back their lost territory.

We've been expanding...

...our land by utilizing their plans.

That's right...

But who is this king of Macedonia...

...who makes such reckless movements?

Alexander, the king of Macedonia, is the commander of all forces.

People say he is extremely intelligent, brave, and fearless.

He's handsome and smells like herb.

How rude!

Woman, what's your name?

That man...

Prepare the aid force immediately.

And bring back all dispatched forces.

Arrange all forces to be ready for battle if necessary.

All forces?

We don't think it's necessary...

Didn't you hear me?

Yes, sir. Immediately!

What's wrong, Philotas? You don't look good.

Oh, no. I'm fine.

So that's Samotrace Island.

That woman is a witch.
