Past Imperative

I think that the code of the Sacred Band and the heroics of the 300 at Thermopylae would have been the sorts of things that Alexander would have admired greatly as a boy ... it fits in with his love for Homer and grand gestures. Exactly what Aristotle would have made of it all is another thing, but I don't doubt that there were times he wondered what he had got himself into.
