Greetings,
interesting...I will be checking out some of that information....
I just finished Valerio M. Manfredi's Alexander Trilogy and according to the footnotes he carried out a lot of research and field work to try to give a fair portrayal.
Although the stories are written from the Macedonian point of view, the Persians and allied forces are treated with respect and Alexander comes over as being a b....... at times.
He does have the 365 concubines in there however.... lol:
It's a pity the Dino de Laurentis film based on this trilogy is on ice right now.
Actually, I love the Alexander film and was hoping for the Directors Cut as an Xmas gift, but my daughter found them sold out when looking......
so am online right now instead of watching Gaugamela ..... lol
regards
Arthes

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
