The glories of Alexander the Great. His conquering and his battle tactics. (I made this a long time ago, but recently discovered I hadn't published it here.)

1. Alexander the Great

4. Standard phalanx battle lines Red squares indicate best troops Phalanx battle lines at Leuctra – Thebans are on the bottom

6. Macedonia (or simply Macedon) was a kingdom to the north of Greece.

12. Intimidating, eh? Modern recreations of a sarissa butt spike and spear head

27. Darius III

30. Alexander was positioned on the right with this elite cavalry. Oddly, they start heading right parallel to the battle lines.

34. Where’s Darius?!

35. EEEEK! It’s Alexander! I just pooed my pants!
