* ExactWords: How Diogenes keeps Alexander from sacking Athens; Alexander offers him a wish, but warns that he will take something from Athens of equal value. Diogenes smirks and asks Alexander to step a bit to either side; he's casting a shadow, and he was enjoying the sun's warmth. As a result, Alexander claims Athens as a territory of Macedonia instead of looting it.
