Hello everyone,I am a kind of a novice here but please dont click 'back' right now
You are all experts with Alexander The Great so you might help me.
I have a very close friend who is very into Alex like you guys, (by the way I'm surprised he does not know this forum,) anyway and he keeps saying I am an idiot because i dont know a thing about History.
So I've decided to trap him on a very precise day on Alexander's history..
I read some biographies on the web but none of them talk about a precise date, they all say spring, summer, march...just months or season...what i want is an exact date of his life - day month year - (birth, death, great victory or defeat, anything that concerns him)Thank you very much !Oscar(sorry for the english thats not my language)

Hi Oscar -The only date we are absolutely sure about is september 20th 331 BC - eclipse of the moon prior to the major battle of Gaugamela. See: http://www.pothos.org/alexander.asp?paraID=70Best regards -

Thank you so much Nick that's exactly what I needed. There are plenty of exact dates in this chronology. Now I have the choice !Best regardsOscar

Take care Oscar - the eclipse date is the only one we know for sure. All the other ones are deducted or estimated and thus subject to debate.Regards -
