    Default Re: Who won, Alexander the Great or Porus?

    Beating one king in one battle would not necessarily secure Porus' kingdom for Alexander, still less all of India. Do you really think that richer and more powerful kings further into India would have lined up and tamely paid Alexander homage just like that? For that matter, did Alexander conquer all of Persia in a single battle? No.

    But hey, your vote belongs to you. Who am I to tell you how to use it?

    In those simple times there was a great wonder and mystery in life. Man walked in fear and solemnity, with Heaven very close above his head, and Hell below his very feet. God's visible hand was everywhere, in the rainbow and the comet, in the thunder and the wind. The Devil too raged openly upon the earth; he skulked behind the hedge-rows in the gloaming; he laughed loudly in the night-time; he clawed the dying sinner, pounced on the unbaptized babe, and twisted the limbs of the epileptic. A foul fiend slunk ever by a man's side and whispered villainies in his ear, while above him there hovered an angel of grace . . .
