What Happened when Alexander the Great Visited the Oracle at Siwa?

When Alexander the Great invaded Egypt he was already a hero and conqueror. Yet, during his short time in Egypt, he experienced something which appears to have deeply influenced him for the rest of his life. This event, the exact nature of which is shrouded in legend, occurred when Alexander the Great visited the Oracle at Siwa. At that time the Oracle at Siwa was one of the most famed oracles in the Eastern Mediterranean. Here, Alexander the Great transcended the realm of man and became if not a god, then the son of one.

I was told the same story about the mistranslating of the priest’s greeting when I was in Siwa.

“During his time in Egypt he experienced something that affected him for the rest of his life.”
Ok, so it affected him for a couple years.
