Line 8:
* [[Ancient Egypt]]
* [[Ancient Greece]]: The early chapters.
* [[Asexual]]: Eris is this (except [[Single
* [[Author Existence Failure]]: The rather abrupt ending of the novel ({{spoiler|Thais and Eris disembark in Ouranopolis... cue the epilogue}}) becomes more understandable once you know that the author died the same year it was written.
* [[Badass Army]]: Alexander's Macedonian army (trained by his late father) is unstoppable at the beginning of his conquest, but is worn out and largely ineffective by the time they reach Persepolis.
Line 18:
* [[Dark Action Girl]]: Eris.
* [[Dashed Plotline]]: Skips of one to three years take place between most chapters, culminating in a nine-year skip in the middle of the last chapter.
* [[Dead Guy, Junior]]: In the novel, Thais names her and Ptolemy (historical) son Leontiscus after the (fictional) Thessalonian cavalryman Leontiscus, who was her long-time admirer and was KIA shortly before her son's birth.
* [[Death By Disfigurement]]: Combat fitness is a ''very'' [[Serious Business]] for Spartans.
* [[Designated Love Interest]]: Ptolemy for Thais. Kinda of a [[Foregone Conclusion]] if you know your history books.
Line 25:
* [[God Save Us From the Queen]]: Olympias is not depicted very favorably.
* [[Good People Have Good Sex]]: Thais is all over this trope.
* [[Go Out
* [[Green-Eyed Monster]]: What drives {{spoiler|Aeositeus to kill Aegesichore}}.
