Gaugamela

Description

In the fourth century B.C., Philip II built Macedonia into the dominant power among the Greek states. But his untimely death prevented him from a planned invasion of the Persian empire. This task would fall to his 20-year-old son, Alexander, who, in 334 B.C., embarked on one of the most extraordinary campaigns in history. Alexander the Great’s conquests of Asia Minor, Egypt, Syria, and the Levant were significant enough. But when he turned his army east into the heart of the Persian empire to meet Darius III, King of Persia, the result was one of the most climactic battles of the ancient world. Alexander’s lopsided victory at the Battle of Gaugamela not only destroyed the Persian empire and ended the Achaemenid dynasty but also allowed Greek ideas and customs to spread throughout the known world.
