Once, during the Indian campaign, they [Krateros and Hephaistion] actually drew their swords and came to blows, and as the friends of each were rushing to bring aid, Alexander rode up and openly berated Hephaistion, calling him a fool and a madman if he did not know that without Alexander he was nothing. 1
