Alexander comes
to the river Hidaspes.
:46:03
On the other side of the river
is King Poros, with his army.
:46:10
Alexander first
builds his camp
:46:13
and later splits
his army into three..
:46:15
And marches down
the river with one part..
:46:19
Poros' army was very strong
because of the elephants.
:46:53
Of course there were plenty
battles. Four are important.
:46:59
The first one was at..
Granicus in 334 BC.
:47:04
Then at Pineros, which is
called Delicay now..
:47:08
somewhere around lskenderun.
:47:11
And then the third
on Gaugamela plain...
:47:15
northeast of Mosul.
Finally there was
:47:19
the one against Poros.
:47:22
l met a man from lskenderun,
and asked him about Delicay.
:47:27
He was amazed
l had heard of Delicay.
:47:35
But, didn't he win all the
battles with his army?
:47:41
No one remembers
their names.
:47:45
Only Alexander.
-You are wrong.
:47:48
Of course
he needed his army,
:47:51
but 2300 years ago
to go on a campaign
:47:55
and winning all battles under
those circumstances isn't easy.
