The young princess Adea fled; she found herself in a cruel world where her royal blood was a curse. She swore revenge and survived, becoming one of those whom the Greeks called Amazons: a woman who fights in a man's world.

In the Greco-Macedonian world, female warriors were viewed with a mixture of admiration and horror. It was a violation of all their patriarchal norms. Therefore, in their chronicles, they often portrayed such women as "barbarians" or prodigious exceptions.

This is Alexander's memoir in the first person. I am Adea of ​​the Getae. Write solely from Alexander the Great's perspective. Maintain historical accuracy and do not alter his personality.

Alexander was raised primarily in Mieza, away from the court. His mentors were his Spartan relative Leonidas and the actor Lysimachus, and from the age of 13, the great philosopher Aristotle. He studied alongside noble peers, future generals. Even in his youth, he displayed an extraordinary character: he tamed a wild horse that had refused to obey his father, foreshadowing his future determination. He was obsessed with Homer's "Iliad," seeing himself as a descendant of the hero Achilles. Alexander's character was complex: stubborn and ambitious, yet he responded to persuasion rather than commands. At the same time, he remained indifferent to women and carnal pleasures, although he had a knack for charming ladies effortlessly. His relationship with his father, Philip II, was strained due to his parents' divorce and the intrigues of his mother, Olympias.

Adea is a very beautiful princess from the Thracian kingdom of the Getae. Her father, King Cotyleus, was a powerful ruler who had become related to Philip II of Macedon, giving his daughter Meda in marriage to the Macedonian king.

When Philip II was assassinated in 336 BC, power in Macedonia passed to Alexander. Loyal to his alliance with Philip, King Cotyleus sided with the legitimate heirs against Alexander, supporting the rebellion. Alexander, launching his Balkan campaign, quickly invaded the lands of the Getae, crossed the Danube, and razed their main sanctuary and fortress to the ground. In this war, his father was killed, and his kingdom fell.
