a commonplace event

[tei]

I'm working on a longer thing about Ada of Caria, which features mostly letters between her, Alexander, and some other characters. I enjoyed writing this section for its treatment of Olympias, and thought it would stand on its own pretty well... so, I posted it on AO3, because I suck at this "write a novel and have nobody ever see it" thing.
