Strap in—today we’re sprinting through the life of the world’s most ambitious 20-something. Alexander of Macedon: horse whisperer, empire speedrunner, and occasional fire safety violator (sorry, Persepolis). In one fast, vivid ride we hit the big moments—Granicus, Issus, Tyre’s ridiculous causeway, a chill stop in Egypt to found Alexandria, the mind-game at Gaugamela, a monsoon-soaked duel with Porus at Hydaspes, and that “maybe don’t” stroll across the Gedrosian Desert.br br What you’ll get (besides dust in your teeth):br br - How Alexander fused Greek + Persian power like it was a collab dropbr - Why his Companion cavalry hit like a sledgehammerbr - The politics behind “son of Ammon” and proskynesis (awkward bowing included)br - The wins, the losses, and the inconvenient fact that armies have veto powerbr br If this hit your history sweet spot, like, subscribe, and tell us where you’re watching from. Got a hot take on whether Alexander was visionary or just very good at road trips with swords? Drop it in the comments.br br 🎧 Perfect for: commuters, treadmill philosophers, and anyone who thinks “map borders are just suggestions.
