#22 – A Brush With Death!

It's all happening in this episode!

  • Memnon is using the Persian fleet to undo a lot of Alexander's “liberations”.
  • BUT he dies mysteriously, putting the Persian battle plans into turnaround.
  • So Darius calls all of his troops to Babylon, which turns out to be a mistake.
  • Meanwhile Alexander is making a clear distinction between his Greek empire and his Asian empire.
  • He goes for a swim at Tarsus which nearly costs him his life.
  • To make matters worse he's told that his doctor is on the take and is going to murder him!
  • But Alexander plays it – LIKE A BOSS!
  • We talk about Jezebel, the god Ba'al and their run in with Yahweh and the Jews.
  • And go into detail about the Persian army!
