High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Cleitus the Black (ca. 375 BC-328 BC) was an officer of the Macedonian army led by Alexander the Great. He was son of Dropides and brother of Alexander's nurse, Lanike. Cleitus saved Alexander's life at the Battle of the Granicus in 334 BC, when Alexander was personally under attack by Rhoesaces and Spithridates. Cleitus chopped off Spithridates' arm before the Persian satrap could bring it down on Alexander. Despite this, Cleitus would meet his demise at the hands of Alexander in a drunken quarrel in 328 BC. The death of Cleitus took place at a conference of generals at what is now the town of Samarkand. Most of the members were rather drunk, and Alexander announced a reorganization of commands. Specifically, Cleitus was given orders to take 16,000 of the defeated Greek mercenaries who formerly fought for the Persian King north to fight the steppe nomads in Central Asia. Cleitus knew that he would no longer be near the King and would be a forgotten man. Furious at the thought of commanding what he saw as second-rate soldiers, fighting nomads in the middle of nowhere, he spoke his mind.
