The first two figures are probably close to the actual number of men he had. But 500,000! No way. Those are Dragon Ball Z numbers.Originally Posted by Ktonos

The first two figures are probably close to the actual number of men he had. But 500,000! No way. Those are Dragon Ball Z numbers.Darius had 3 major battles against Alexander. In Granicus he fielded about 30.000 men, in Issus 55.000 and in Gaugamela about 500.000.

Remark made that in the enemy's country, "If you don't take anything, you feel you've forgotten something." Captain J.R. Coignet, Napoleonic Era.
"Is not your Majesty surprised?" [i.e., at the outcome of Waterloo]. Napoleon replied, "No, it has been the same thing since Crecy."
