Antartic history is more my thing, but this is fascinating! Thanks for the lesson in Greek history. Especially considering how important it is for Lex. Imagine having this young man - stranger really, throw that history in your face as a challenge.

“You surprise me, Mr. Kent. I’m not often surprised.” The tightness in his voice suggested that Lex Luthor did not enjoy surprises.

“I’ve studied history.” Clark ran a finger along the edge of the blade. “Learned how leaders have used power for destructive purposes.” He looked into Luthor’s cold eyes. “Some say Alexander called himself a demi-god, the son of Zeus.”

“He never lost a battle. Maybe he was ordained by the gods, chosen for a greater purpose. Better than mere mortals.”

This sets the stage for the conflict between billionaire and journalist, a conflict the older man will lose.

Thanks for filling in the scene! thumbsup

A writer's job is to think of new plots and create characters who stay with you long after the final page has been read. If that mission is accomplished than we have done what we set out to do, which is to entertain and hopefully educate.
