On today’s episode, the History Guy tells two stories of Alexander the Great. First he tells the story of possibly the most challenging siege of Alexander’s military career: the siege of the island city of Tyre. Then he tells the story of Alexander’s greatest defeat, when his own men mutinied on the banks of an Asian river.

Does anyone here know a good biography of Alexander? I've always been fascinated by him, but have been focusing on American History.
Good evening Josh and THG
Killed more Greeks than any Persian could ever dream too
I bet Josh looks just like his dad. He sounds just like him. That's literally history being remembered.
Alexander the great is in the bible.The book of Daniel in the old testement.300 yrs before,Daniel told of his strength,and that after his death his kindgom would be split into 4 other kindgoms.Daniel wrote about the book of revelation 600 yrs before john.John wrote the book of revelation,but Daniel explains it and what it means.
Some cultures are better than others.
Where is the master mixer?
As much as I love history and Alexander. For such a great tactican did he not forsee the death of his wife and his child.
Was it Xenophon who said that "Persia belongs to the man with the courage to take it." I know someone contemporary to Phillip and Alexander said it.
We might call Phillip of Macedon, Phillip the Great, except his son was Alexander. Phillip was quite an interesting guy. He left Alexander a united Greece (under Macedonian dominance), a military system of combined arms and tactics superior to anyone else. and a superb army. He also left Alexander a leadership style of leading from the front and a desire to conquer Persia. Can't remember the source or the exact quote but it goes something like, "He lost and eye, a hand, and a leg that the remaining parts of his body might live in greater glory". You don't get that by sitting in a chariot in the back.
Lance gas GOT to lean into the mic during the discussion sessions. Josh is clear and loud. The contrast with his Dad is striking.
I am glad I live in the current age. Such massive discoveries because of new technology in my lifetime. What else will be uncovered in the next decades?
In current time news outlets are known for pushing an agenda rather than reporting the news in a fair and balanced way. Do you run across this when researching for your shows? If so, howdo you decipher what really happened?
I learned.
