Alexander The Great Alexander III of Macedon, more commonly known as Alexander the Great was born in Pella Macedonia in 356 BC. During his youth he was tutored by Aristotle until age sixteen. In 336 At the age of twenty he succeeded his father Philip II as king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon. Alexander Inherited an experienced professional army and quickly implemented his fathers dream of leading the Greeks in the military conquest of the superpower of the age, the Persian empire. In 334 BC, Alexander crossed the Hellespont with 40,000 men and in a series of decisive battles, Granicus 334, Issus 333 and Gaugamela 331 overthrew Persian King Darius III and conquered the Achaemenid Empire in its entirety. Alexander continued eastward and crossed the Indus River into India in 326 BC, winning a hard won victory over King Porus at the battle of the Hydaspes. By the age of thirty, he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to India. Granicus ISSUS Gaugamela Hydaspes Hydaspes had been such a brutal costly victory that Alexanders homesick troops mutinied and demanded to return to Greece. Alexander reluctantly conceded and began the march home dying on rout at the city Babylon in 323 BC. In the years following his death, a series of civil wars by his surviving generals and heirs tore his empire apart, resulting in the establishment of several states ruled by the Diadochi. Alexander founded some twenty cities that bore his name, most notably Alexandria in Egypt. Alexander's settlement of Greek colonists and the resulting spread of Greek culture in the east resulted in a new Hellenistic civilization, aspects of which were still evident in the traditions of the Byzantine Empire in the mid-15th century AD. Alexander became legendary, prominently in the history and mythic traditions of both Greek and non-Greek cultures. He was undefeated in battle and became the measure against which future military leaders compared themselves. Military academies throughout the world still teach his battle field tactics and is often ranked among the most influential people in history.

Types of infantry used by the Ancient Greeks The hoplite was a heavy infantryman, the central focus of warfare in Ancient Greece that fought in tight formation. The Ekdromos (plural Ekdromoi) was the name of the Greek light hoplites that could break away from tight formation and chase or fend off enemy peltasts. A peltast (ancient Greek πελταστής) was a type of light infantry in Ancient Greece who often served as skirmishers and used ranged weapons. Iphicratean hoplites were a combination of the Ekdromoi with lighter shields and longer spears and swords that fought in the same way as the Ekdromoi. The Sarrisoforoi were heavy infantryman, with extremely long spears wielded two-handed and light shields that fought in tight formation.

A portrait of of one of my favorite historical figures, the Epirot general Pyrrhus, given the sobriquet of "the Eagle". He was probably the best general of his generation who lived a life at war and was a master of the battlefield. Despite being remembered for the term "pyrrhic victory" which refers to a battle won at high cost to the point where it is almost as bad as defeat, he had many successes and fought many peoples in three continents. However despite being exceptionally gifted in terms of battlefield tactics and martial prowess he often was distracted by new campaigns and adventures to effectively consolidate or finish anything he started. Apart from his prowess he was also generally well liked and respected by ally and foe alike. During his life he campaigned against the Macedonians, Illyrians, Romans, Carthaginians, Invading Gauls, the Spartans as well as his final campaign where he met his end (at the hands of an old lady throwing a roof tile at him) in Argos. All in all an often over looked historical figure who is absolutely fascinating and deserves more than to be a simple foot note in history.
