What is Alexander and the Basilisk about?
Alexander the Great was besieging a city when many of his soldiers began dying without any visible wounds. He summoned philosophers to explain this mystery. They told him that a basilisk, whose gaze could kill, was on the city wall. Their solution was to place a mirror within the army, elevated so that when the basilisk gazed upon its reflection, its deadly stare would be reflected back to itself, killing it. Alexander followed this advice and it worked.
