em.. im sorry but i didn't find this info anywhere else....
What the hell was he doing on Crete when Pyrhos attacked? was he trying to make an alliance? to conquer the island? what?
I mean if i were him i wouldn't go on a vacation when the best general since Alexander was wondering in vicinity of my kingdom
neither would I tbh
Well AFAIK Areus was sent to secure the position of the KH on Krete (certain Kretan towns had been allies for a while with various members of the KH; and others were rather more inclined to support Antigonos), and Pyrrhos really appeared at the time to have been rather more interested in claiming the Makedonian throne.
wasn't the KH formed by Chremonides?:dizzy2:
a few years later?
I believe Pyrrhos kept insisting up to the last minute that he was not in the Peloponnese to do any harm to Sparta. He claimed even that he wanted his son to go through the Agoge training.
+1 eh TA
WTF? :wall:Quote:

On that subject, is there an ignore function in this forum?Quote:
