Explanation? I like the mini history lesson that come from these.
Here you go! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siege_of_Tyre_(332_BC)
Beat me to it. I was gonna be like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Adventure_of_the_guy_called_Alex_who_Turned_an_Island_into_a_Peninsula
That Alex guy sounds great!
I heard he has kind of a drinking problem tho…
He is called Alex the great drinker, after all.
That’s probably why he called his horse Brew-cephalis.
I can recommend reading the Quinus Curtius Rufus biography of Alexander. His description of the battles, and especially this one, are great.
Imagine how terrible it would have been to see the enemy slowly build their way to your fortifications? The waiting must have been terrible.
