[edit]This article is rather short, and, I feel, much marginalises this great man. This is a man who played a major part in ensuring the success of one of the greatest military rulers of all time. nNot only was he an unparallelled stratego, but a friend and confidante to Alexander the Great and his father, Phillip. This is a man whose deeds surpass those of pretty much any general of that, or any, age. Therefore he should have a more fitting testament, I feel. (anonymous)
- There should be. It will take more than one Wikipedian though. Please pitch in. --Joe 04:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
- To whomever it may concern, can we please change the spelling of Sitalces to the more chronogeographically accurate Cappadocian Greek "Shitalk"? Thanks in advance. 2A0B:6204:33D9:BF00:5132:EB3F:AD2D:EA0C (talk) 15:49, 11 April 2023 (UTC)
I have added a more detailed overview charting what we know -no, what we can derive from the conflicting evidence - of Parmenion's career. I have only really followed the account of Arrian, however, following the Official tradition of the Alexandrian histories. i think a separate section following the Vulgate may assist clarity and lack of bias.
About the 2004 film, Alexander
[edit]"In the unsuccessful 2004 film Alexander (d. Oliver Stone)..." Doesn't it sound opinionated to have the word "unsuccessful" in this sentence?
That depends. If the film won no awards, remained relatively unknown to the wider audience, had no positive publicity etc. Then I think it may be classified as unsuccessful. Hobowu 07:33, 24 March 2007 (UTC)
In Gemmell's books, Parmenion's status as the father of Alexander is not merely suggested, it is a fictional fact. A fact that is the very core of both novels. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.189.107.14 (talk) 02:45, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

False charges?
[edit]The opening asserts he was murdered on "false charges". Is that without any doubt? Given the sources we have were written hundreds of years later, could they not be inaccurate? Wouldn't it be more correct to say "allegedly" or "possibly" before "false charges"? --24.154.173.243 (talk) 19:39, 19 November 2011 (UTC)
