Alexander of Epirot, regarding a question. - Anonymous - 02-05-2004
While Alexander The Great was in Persia, this Alexander was campaigning in Italy. I can not find anything extensive on what happened during these campaigns -- only left with his quote about fighting real men as opposed to fighting persian women, as with Alexander The great (and that he died in Italy). Does anyone have a reference, or can dig something up worth reading? <p></p><i></i>

Good thread, wrong forum. Relocating to off-topic. You could also try Greek Army Talk. See link at top of page.<br>
