Epic History TV’s complete four-part history of Alexander the Great in one video. Follow the incredible story of the Macedonian king as he embarks on the total conquest of the ancient world’s greatest superpower, the Persian Empire. With dramatic victories at the Granicus, Issus and Gaugamela, Alexander defeats Darius III and claims the throne of Persia. But his campaign to subdue the empire’s easternmost provinces and reach the edge of the known world will take him into modern Afghanistan, Pakistan and the frontier of India, where he meets the Indian king Porus in battle at the Hydaspes. This is the complete overview of Alexander’s conquests, a 10 year period of immense drama and historical significance, as the young Macedonian king’s breathtaking achievements ushered in a new era in European and Middle Eastern history – the Hellenistic Age.

Quntus Rufus “The history of Alexander “
Patron the Athenian commander , speaks with Dairus .
“Your majesty,” said , Patron we few are all that remain of 50:000 Athenians . We were all with you in your more fortunate days , and in your present situation we remain as we were prospering , ready to make for and to accept as our country and our home any lands you choose , we and you have been drawn together both by your prosperity and your Adversity .”
This is after Filipikis “unite “Hellas
