THEY ARE ALL GREEKS!!!

Of course it is clear there were different goals if you consider them spotted in cities,but they proved in the greco-persian wars that they wanted to become aw...

Re: What happened when Alexander met Diogenes?

Well,dear friend,i think the most important thing Diogenes told him It is what Robin Lane Fox tell us in his excellent "Alexander The Great",ATg saw Diogenes and asked him if there was anything he could do for him,an abject figure,then Diogenes Answered ATG," Yes,stand aside a litlle,...

The Great King's intelligence reached Demosthenes

Reading the "Parallel lives" by Plutarch I found in the text where it is about Demosthenes the famous orator in Athen,that he was met by the persian intelligence because of his influence over the greeks by that time,and they asked him to keep his speeches against Macedonia in order to main...

Re: The Persian empire became greater after Alexander

My dear friend it is nonsense to discuss the extension of ATG"s conquest and his greatness when we consider human history,it is understandable that the persian descendants may despise ATG,but we are here as history students and experts just to show the facts,we dont want to make ATG's deificati...

Re: Persepolis was burnt by Egyptians

Please my friend,there are lots of evidences in so many top sources that Persepolis was burnt following ATG's desire after a "symposium",and as it is well known,instigated by Thais an Athenian courtesan.I think we should discuss diferent points of view here about ATG,but with a minimum gro...

ATG route after Granicus

According to Engels the most of the maps showing ATG route from Dascylion to Sardis in a straight line through rugged mountains,canyons and barren scrub land may be wrong,since if we take Arrian's text it is probable that he was not in Dascylion after Granicus but sent Parmenion there.So,says Engels...
