On either 10 or 11 June 323 BC, Alexander died in the palace of Nebuchadnezzar II, in Babylon at the age of 32.[128] Plutarch gives a lengthy account of the circumstances of his death, echoed (without firm dates) by Arrian. Roughly 14 days before his death, Alexander entertained his admiral Nearchus, and then, instead of going to bed, spent the night and next day drinking with Medius of Larissa.[129] After this, and by 18 Daesius (a Macedonian month) he had developed a fever, which then grew steadily worse.[129][130] By 25 Daesius, he was unable to speak.[130] By 26 Daesius, the common soldiers had become anxious about his health, or thought he was already dead. They demanded to see him, and Alexander's generals acquiesced.[130] The soldiers slowly filed past him, whilst Alexander raised his right hand in greeting, still unable to speak.[131] Two days later, on 28 Daesius (although Aristobolus's account says it was 30 Daesius), Alexander was dead.[129][130] Conversely, Diodorus recounts that Alexander was struck down with pain after downing a large bowl of unmixed wine in honour of Hercules, and (rather mysteriously) died after some agony,[132] which is also mentioned as an alternative by Arrian, but Plutarch specifically denies this claim.[129]
