      Not true. What is translated as "Terrible" into modern English apparently had a different and quite specific meaning in XVIth century Russian, the meaning was something like "brave in battle" or "fearsome to the enemies". A few princes before him had that name as well.

The name in that context absolutely fits then since Ivan IV established the foundation of the Russian Empire when the Romanovs came to power.

      @@M1ss.Circle_Official There are texts that were written implying he and Hephaestion (his childhood and closest friend) were lovers and that he had another male lover, Bagoas.
      The man with him in this skit is probably Hephaestion since he's more well-known in history and literature, and he was also Alexander's greatest companion.
      Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if he was gay. He was Greek, and the ancient Greeks didn't condemn homosexuality.
