Alexander the Great (1956)

Helmut Dantine: Nectenabus

Quotes 

• Nectenabus : There were signs of greatness at his birth! Quakes and storms shook the earth - and in the skies, a star fell... and two eagles perched upon the roof of the Queen's chamber. And in far-off Asia... the Temple of Ephesus was struck by lightning and burnt to the ground.

  Philip of Macedonia : And how did you read these signs, soothsayer?

  Nectenabus : The two eagles - that he was born to rule two worlds. The burning of the Temple - that a torch was kindled that day that would one day consume all the world. And this torch... your son.

  Philip of Macedonia : And the falling of the star?

  Olympias : That a god was born to me... *of* a god.
