### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MACEDONIAN MARVEL
*by A***E on 18 February 2026*

The greatest soldier and legendary,unconquered king of ancient world seems appealing enough for the rapidly changing world to still worship him for the ASTONISHINGLY brave qualities AND fine military and political genius miles ahead of time which he had in him. Drawing inspiration for conquest and courage par excellence from his goddess of a mother and his magnetic and universal philosophical mentor and guide cum teacher and political adviser ARISTOTLE, THIS BOY KING ESTABLISHED THE MOST WIDESPREAD AND MAJESTICAL EMPIRE, TO HAVE BEEN DONE OR ACCOMPLISHED EVER BY ANY MORTAL WARRIOR,EVER IN HISTORY WITH A LOYAL BAND OF FOLLOWERS AND UNCOMMONLY STRONG, SKILLED AND ABSOLUTELY, LETHAL,DEVOTED SOLDIERS WHO WERE ALWAYS READY TO SACRIFICE EVERYTHING AT ONE COMMAND OF THEIR IMMORTAL,UNMATCHEDLY VALIANT KING, WHOSE WISH WAS THE LAST WORD FOR THEM. ALEXANDER MARCHED FROM MACEDONIA CONQUERING AND INFLICTING TOTAL DESTRUCTION ON THE PERSIAN EMPIRE EMPIRE UNDER DARIUS THE GREATEST EMPEROR EVER TO HAVE RULED BABYLON OR MODERN BAGHDAD HE AND HIS ARMY PILLAGED THE ACHAEMENID DYNASTY RULED BABYLON AND THEN HE FACED A MORE STRONG RESISTANCE AS HE MARCHED ON TOWARDS THE EAST TO THE VERY BORDERS OF INDIA,UNBEATEN ON THE WAY. AS SOON AS HE REACHED THE REGION OF THE PRESENT NWFP OF NOWADAYS PAKISTAN, THE TREACHEROUS KING AMBI ALIGNED WITH HIM AND BECAME HIS VASSAL AND TOLD HIM HOW TO MARCH OR CROSS THE OVERFLOWING RIVER WHICH CONNECTED HIS KINGDOM AND KASHMIR TO PUNJAB WHERE THE NOBLE PATRIOTIC,JUST AND FAMOUSLY BRAVE KING PURU RULED HIS LOYAL SUBJECTS BY AN ETHICAL AND RESPECTABLY FREE AND FAIR CODE OF LAWS. AMBI DID THIS OUT OF SHEER RIVALRY AND BITTER JEALOUSY AS HE WAS NEVER ABLE TO DEFEAT PURU IN BATTLE TO WIN OVER HIS KINGDOM. ALEXANDER WON OVER PURU IS WHAT ANCIENT RECORDED GREEK HISTORIANS'ACCOUNTS SAY THOUGH THE BEST SOLDIER EVER BORN GOT BADLY WOUNDED AND LOST MANY MEN AND BEASTS IN THE PROCESS OF BEATING,KING PORUS. LATER HE IMPRESSED BY PURU'S BRAVE ATTITUDE EVEN GAVE HIM BACK ALL WHICH BELONGED TO PORUS, RIGHTFULLY. NOW, MANY RECENT HISTORIANS SAY THAT ALEXANDER HAD NEVER WON THE WAR AGAINST PORUS DECISIVELY AND INSTEAD AFTER HIS HISTORIC ARMY SUFFERED HUGE LOSSES BOTH IN MEN AND MATERIALS, COMPELLED BY A VERY UNIQUE GENERAL DISSATISFACTION AMONGST HIS SOLDIERS,AND SOME OF HIS INTIMATE CIRCLE OF COMMANDERS, HE WAS FORCED TO RETURN BACK TO HIS MOTHERLAND, HIS OWN KINGDOM, MACEDONIA LEAVING, HIS TRUSTED AIDE SELEUCUS NIKATOR AS GOVERNOR OF HIS CONQUERED REGIONS IN INDIA. Our indian HISTORIANS SAY that CHANDRAGUPTA MAURYA,DISCIPLE OF THE GREAT CHANAKYA, DEFEATED THE GREEKS, LATER AND SELEUCUS HAD TO ACCEPT A VERY HUMILIATING TREATY OF PEACE WITH CHANDRAGUPTA AND THUS, THE GREEK INFLUENCE OVER OUR COUNTRY CAME TO AN EMBARRASSING IMMATURE CONCLUSION. SOME ACCOUNTS HAVE SAID THAT ALEXANDER THE GREAT, DIED DURING THE RETURN JOURNEY BACK, AT PERSIA, FROM THE VERY DEBILITATING YELLOW FEVER AFTER A VERY PAINFUL ORDEAL LEAVING THE FATE OF HIS CONQUERED TERRITORIES, UNDECIDED AND HIS GENERALS IN TOTAL DISAGREEMENT AND IN A STATE OF CIVIL WAR,AS TO WHO WOULD BE THE NEXT GREEK EMPEROR. SOME PEOPLE ALSO CLAIM THAT ALEXANDER DIED OF THE GRAVE WOUNDS, WHICH HE HAD GOT IN THE PROCESS OF FIGHTING WITH PORUS. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED WITH ALEXANDER THE GREAT, MACEDONIAN KING, REMAINS ONE OF THE GREATEST UNSOLVED MYSTERIES OF ANCIENT, WORLD HISTORY UPTO CURRENT TIMES. YET ALEXANDER REMAINS A GRAND AND COMPLEX ALSO MAGNIFICENT CHARACTER IN THE CHAPTERS OF ANCIENT HISTORY, AN IMMORTAL WARRIOR AND DYNAMIC LEADER OF MEN, FOR ALL OF TIMES, ETERNAL. THIS IS A VERY INTERESTING WESTERN TAKE OF A BOOK WRITTEN IN A LUCID AND CONCISE MANNER OFFERING A WONDERFUL ACCOUNT OF THE GREAT ALEXANDER AS A GRAND KING AND AN INFORMATION SOURCE OF THE MAGNIFICENT FEATS OF THE MACEDONIAN RULER, WITH A PEEK INTO HIS HISTORIC AND ALMOST MYSTICAL BACKGROUND.
