That night Pyrrhus dreamed that he was called by Alexander the Great, and that when he answered the call he found the king lying on a couch, but met with kindly speech and friendly treatment from him, and received a promise of his ready aid and help.
‘And how, 0 King,’ Pyrrhus ventured to ask,
‘when thou art sick, canst thou give me aid and help?’
‘My name itself will give it,’ said the king, and mounting a Nisaean horse he led the way.
