Philip

You cannot deny that you are my son this time, Alexander; you would not have died if you had been Ammons.

Alexander

I knew all the time that you, Philip, son of Amyntas, were my father. I only accepted the statement of the oracle because I thought it was good policy.

Philip

What, to suffer yourself to be fooled by lying priests?

Alexander

No, but it had an awe-inspiring effect upon the barbarians. When they thought they had a God to deal with, they gave up the struggle; which made their conquest a simple matter.
