Waiting is Hell

Watching Charon being chewed out by Hades and Alexander and Hephaestion being generic stubborn blockheads cracks me up. It's certainly a comedic take on a tragedy. And just think of the chaos Alexander is going to cause in the afterlife!

(And let's face it, if any of those Greek heroes are going to lead an army, it's going to have to be Alexander. :P)

"How can we go on without our Alexander! – " And the rest was jumbled in an anguished cacophony.
