Cleitus condemned Alexander for his achievements compared to Philip's. He later accuses Alexander of trying to sideline him and criticises Alexander for the murder of Attalus (who he murdered at the beginning of his reign). Alexander became hot with anger and murdered Cleitus, not realising what he had done until after and felt regretful.
Cleitus was one of Alexander's childhood friends, but he murdered him because he couldn't handle what he said although it was true. He basically couldn't handle the truth!

∙ 10y agoAlexander the great killed Cleitus the Black at a dinner party, Cleitus was apparently critical of his policies and according to some sources claimed that all of Alexander's successes were based on actions taken by Philip the second. I think he threw an apple at him followed by attacking him with a spear/sword.
