From an outsider's perspective, you are worried that there is almost nothing left of the original story, and maybe that's true. A man grows up in a certain environment, and he is shaped by the events in his life. Being educated by Aristotle, learning to ride in the plains of Macedonia, and then going to war, traveling to the far edges of the known world, conquering it as we went, never to return home again... these things are not small forces that make a person who he is. Myself in a modern time, in a younger body? Surely I am still myself in voice and in personality, but you cannot expect our lives to compare. Do not fret. I am myself still.

My only hesitation is concerning this "Jordan." You do us both a disservice by blurring the lines too much. Proceed with caution.
