• Greece follows—the Grecian kingdom as formed by the conquests of Alexander. And yet not only as held by him, for “the beast had also four heads”; and hence, just as the single head of gold symbolized Nebuchadnezzar and his dynasty, so the successors of Alexander are seen in these four heads, the dominion of Alexander being finally divided after his death into four kingdoms, ruled over by four of his generals. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)
• The leopard with the four wings of a fowl on its back, are agility and speed in execution—features which, in a remarkable manner, distinguished Alexander in his wars and conquests. (“Daniel 7” by E. Dennett)
