Plutarch on Alexander and the wife of Darius

In November 333, Alexander defeated Darius III Codomannus in the battle of Issus. It was a brilliant victory, but Greek author Plutarch of Chaeronea, a philosopher and a moralist, is more interested in Alexander's courteous behavior after the battle. He writes the following in section 20-21 of his Life of Alexander.

Alexander and the wife of Darius

[20.10] Nothing was wanting to complete this victory, in which Alexander overthrew above a 110,000 of his enemies, but the taking the person of Darius, who escaped very narrowly by flight. However, having taken his chariot and his bow,note he returned from pursuing him,

[20.11] and found his own men busy in pillaging the barbarians' camp, which [...] was exceedingly rich. But Darius' tent, which was full of splendid furniture and quantities of gold and silver, they reserved for Alexander himself, 

[20.12] who, after he had put off his arms, went to bathe himself saying, "Let us now cleanse ourselves from the toils of war in the bath of Darius."

"Not so," replied one of his followers, "but in Alexander's rather; for the property of the conquered is and should be called the conqueror's."       

[20.13]  Here, when he beheld the bathing vessels, the water-pots, the pans, and the ointment boxes, all of gold curiously wrought, and smelt the fragrant odors with which the whole place was exquisitely perfumed, and from thence passed into a pavilion of great size and height, where the couches and tables and preparations for an entertainment were perfectly magnificent, he turned to those about him and said, "This, it seems, is royalty."
