Speaking Truth to the Youth

The story of Alexander the Great turns from an epic tale of conquest and glory to a character study in megalomania and paranoia - sorry about the damn cicadas in the background

After the big win at Issus, Alexander wastes no time in continuing his strategy of taking the ports in Lebanon. Along the way, he fights hellacious siege battles at Tyre and Gaza, gets proclaimed a God in Egypt and finally gets his rematch showdown with Darius at the battle of Gaugamela

After a near-run victory at the Granicus, Alexander invades deeper into the Persian empire and soon faces Darius himself in battle...
