RE: Short Sketch of Ancient Greek History - History You Should Know but Might Not
Nice recap of some Greek history. If I recall correctly, Alexander was somewhat forced to stop in Northern India due to discontent of his men. Apparently though, they were fascinated by the wandering ascetics, and their indifference. I think a few Greeks remained for some time after Alexander's army left, and there was a trade off of cultures.
Alexander is credited with the "Hellenization" of the Ancient World, spreading Greek culture all over the known world at that time.
Alexander died only because he could not conquer himself.
