I can't help but wonder if their fictional portrayal is strongly influenced by the author's misogyny and homophobia.
I have not been able to read all the novels, but I have read one in Japanese in which Olympias is portrayed as a "crazy woman" and surprisingly Alexander respects Antipatros more than her😱
This novel was favorable to Hephaistion, but it was a terrible novel, and I would like to read a novel (preferably in Japanese) that portrays the two of them in a favorable light.
