¿Sabía usted que Alejandro Magno introdujo una vez la proskynesis en la corte macedonia? La proskynesis, el acto de besar el suelo o los pies de alguien de rango superior, era una costumbre habitual de los persas. En la corte del Imperio aqueménida, este acto se realizaba normalmente ante el rey. Tanto si eran nativos del país como si no, los súbditos tenían que postrarse ante el rey antes de poder pronunciar una palabra. A diferencia de los griegos y los macedonios, los persas solo practicaban la proskynesis cuando se comunicaban con sus antiguos dioses.

According to the ancient writer Arrian, when Alexander attempted to apply proskynesis to his court, his decision was met with massive criticism from both the Macedonians and Greeks. And even when he stopped the practice, the Macedonians continued to witness their king apply a variety of Persian customs in the kingdom. Some said his Persianization played a minor role in his death, while others claimed that he died of natural causes. The sources that tell the story of Alexander often contradict each other, which can be confusing for those hoping to learn about the great king’s eventful life.
