write sparta 2 le conquiste di alessandro magno download In 569 BC, the Greek city-state of Sparta defeated a tyrant named Arybbas. In the aftermath, the Spartans were able to expand their empire and turn it into a model democracy. The Spartans were thought to have been unconquerable with their battle skills and aggressive war tactics. Yet in 371 BC, Sparta was defeated by the Athenian Sicilian army led by Athens's tyrant Cleon and his son-in-law Brasidas. Thus began an era of decline for Sparta that lasted until 164 BC — when they were finally conquered by Macedonia — 410 years after this victory over Arybbas. three years ago, I wrote a column that was titled "After the Trekking Poles, the next trend has to be the Trekking Swords" ( read the column here ). The idea behind it was that just as trekking poles have become indispensable for trekkers these past few years, so will sword making its way into being an important part of any trekker's kit. Macedonian king Alexander III of Macedon (Alexander the Great) was born in Pella in 356 BC to King Philip II of Macedon and his fourth wife Olympias. Four years later, he became king at the age of 20. Upon ascending to the throne, Alexander saw that Macedonia was already a powerful kingdom and there was still much to be done. So he directed his attention to the Hellenistic world outside of Greece. With Grecian mercenaries, Alexander invaded Persia in 334 BC. That campaign ended successfully with the capture of powerful king Darius III Codomannus (Darius III the Great). The subsequent Persian Empire was destroyed and its constituent states (Persia proper, Media, Parthia, Iraq) were united into a single empire that was called 'the Empire of Alexander' or just 'the Greek empire' that stretched from Thrace to India. In 327 BC, Alexander returned to Macedonia where he married the daughter of king Philip II. In the meantime, Alexander had declared himself Ruler of Asia and began a major military campaign against his rival in India, King Porus. This campaign ended in a stalemate but the Hellenic leader had captured Porus's capital city of Taxila and installed a garrison to stop it from being looted by local tribes. In 326 BC, Alexander appointed his general Seleucus as satrap (governor) to govern Bactria and Sogdiana that was formerly ruled by King Oxyartes. A year later, Alexander left for India to continue his quest of conquering the Indian subcontinent. Despite facing fierce opposition, he defeated King Porus in the Battle of Hydaspes in 326 BC. four years after I wrote that aforementioned column, I wrote another one titled "The Art of Trekking Poles" (read that article here ). The idea behind it was that trekking poles — like many other things — could be art. I made this observation after seeing a video shot by Italian photographer and mushroom enthusiast Gianluca Tosato. eccc085e13
