Title: Xerxes the Great
So, I believe Lex’s dog is called Xerxes. Is there a romantic subplot involved?

Quote
Summary: Clark and Lex square off over ancient history.
Clark accidently tripped over Xerxes?

Quote
A move not often made by anyone. A challenge.
So, Lex’s PoV?

Quote
“You surprise me, Mr. Kent. I’m not often surprised.” The tightness in his voice suggested that Lex Luthor did not enjoy surprises.
And yet, he goes after Lois.
LEX: Easily explained. She looks like she knows how to please a man. And once she doesn’t, no harm done to the waste compactor.

Quote
Clark shook his head. “No better than Xerxes. The Persians called him ‘the Great.’ But he suffered the same delusions of grandeur as Alexander. Herodotus wrote that Xerxes had an arrogant pride.”
He does realize that without arrogance and pride, neither man would have strived to build or expand their empire.

Quote
“Tallest building in Metropolis. I must confess a certain pleasure in knowing that everyone in the city has to look up in order to see me.”
Clearly, he’s compensating for some shortcoming there.

That was an in-depth expansion. Double fun considering there has just been an Alexander documentation on TV.
