Alexander's relationship with Thais

greenspun.com : LUSENET : Alexander the Great Q&A Forum : One Thread

Have you ever red the book of Ivan Efremov (russian historian)about the Thais's live and her relationship with Alexander, before becoming a Memphis queen? Please tell me everything you have as sources about their real relationship. I feel that there is something even more than deep love connecting them. I know that he truly loved her a lot and trusted her during his mission accomplishment. Please tell me everything you have discovered concerning Thais and Alexander?!

I read it and i think the author was correct in some way but i am not sure she became a queen, history doesn't know that. There was a relationship but not a very close one. She was a courtesan in his court so you can guess what was their primary relationship:-)
