Ep. 45. Alexander The Great (Part 2) with Will Davis-Colman & Patrick Courtney
Alexander has consolidated things in mainland Greece...For now. He has made his way across the Aegean and begun his invasion of the Persian Empire. He’s managed to win a battle against the local Persian satraps at the River Granicus, and secured much of Anatolia. Some bit, peacefully. Others...not so much. But now the Great King, Darius III, is marching to respond to the young Macedonian king’s invasion. Join us for Part 2 of Alexander The Great!
Patrick is, once again, joined by Will and Patrick from the Cloak & Dagger podcast, to talk about the Persian response to the Macedonian threat. Join us as the boys talk tactics, logistics Darius potential foray back into the dating scene, and even a creepy spider sighting. All that and much more in the second installment of Alexander The Great.
