Massacre of Greeks under Alexander the Great
#11
Quote:Isn't Dio 18.7 Perdikkas sorting out the oathbreakers or something? Can't recall.

Diodorus 18.7 is the rebellion of the Greeks of the "upper" satrapies (Sogdiana, Bactria, etc.) in late 323. Pithon was sent from Babylon, in the autumn, to see to it. The battle described likely occurred in the very late winter of 323/2 or very early spring 322.
Paralus|Michael Park

Ἐπὶ τοὺς πατέρας, ὦ κακαὶ κεφαλαί, τοὺς μετὰ Φιλίππου καὶ Ἀλεξάνδρου τὰ ὅλα κατειργασμένους

Wicked men, you are sinning against your fathers, who conquered the whole world under Philip and Alexander!
