About this listen

Alexander’s campaign accelerates as he advances deeper into Persian territory. From the symbolic cutting of the Gordian Knot to the decisive clash at Issus, Macedonian forces face the full might of Darius III and emerge victorious.


As the march continues, brutal sieges at Tyre and Gaza reveal the true cost of conquest, even as Egypt welcomes Alexander as a liberator. But beyond these victories lie stretched supply lines, rising resistance, and growing tensions within the ranks, as ambition drives the army ever further east toward new and uncertain horizons.
