About this listen

 Follow the incredible story of the king of Macedonia as he embarks on the total conquest of the ancient world's greatest superpower, the Persian Empire. With dramatic victories at Granicus, Issus, and Gaugamela, Alexander defeats Darius III and claims the throne of Persia. But his campaign to subdue the empire's easternmost provinces and reach the frontier of the known world will take him to modern-day Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the border of India, where he meets the Indian king Porus in battle on the Hydaspes. This is the complete summary of Alexander's conquests, a 10-year period of immense drama and historical significance, as the young Macedonian king's stunning achievements ushered in a new era in the history of Europe and the Middle East: the Hellenistic Age.
