RE: ON THE PERIPHERY OF CLASSICAL GREECE, ANCIENT KINGDOM OF MACEDON-HISTORICAL OUTLINE
Great Post :) Love the detail. Kochaj swoją pracę :D
Alexander Stopped his conquest of India When he was about to go face to face with the Magadha Empire. Magadha at that time was one of the most powerful empires in the subcontinent. One could say Modern India is defined in many ways by it and its influence is still felt today. One of the advisors to the Magadha emperor was a Man called Chanakya or also known as Kautilya. He is the Indian version of Sun-Tzu. His work Arthashastra is the Classical text the basis of which runs Indian Governments's Foreign Policy to this date.
Alexander's Solders were fatigued by the time they reached Magadha. His solders refused go forward , completely at a loss on how to deal with the Indian tropical climate which was alien to them. Snakes, Insects , Mosquitoes , Constant Heat , Infectious ailments Etc ....
In India Alexander was known by the name Sikandhar. Which is still today a hugely popular name for kids.
Hope this helps :)
