myth or no, the story of Pheidippides is the most famous story of a Classical Greek long distance runner. That is why we include him. The story of Pheidippides, although very likely surrounded in some fiction (eg him dying shouting 'nike'), is probably (loosely) based on a real event :).

@Briseur De Lance The most famous runner of history resulted from the Battle of Marathon, in which the Greeks won with no archers or cavalry against a Persian army that outnumbered them 2:1 and had archers and unused cavalry. Something I've realized studying history is that even in the late Napoleonic era, Light Infantry was still only "annoying" to enemy armies, and hardly ever dealt a decisive blow either. Yes, archers are critical when defending in a siege, but in open ground, they only have an attritional effect on the enemy. By WWII, the entire concept of light infantry disappears, replaced the concept of paratroopers which is something else altogether.

Thus ends the Armies and Tactics series on Philip II and Alexander the Great! Here are some fun facts about Alexander's allies. Runners were often preferred for carrying messages instead of horsemen at the time of Alexander the Great. This was because runners could more easily traverse rough terrain - terrain Alexander experienced a lot of in Asia. It is estimated a Cretan bow’s farthest range was likely around 175 metres. In comparison a Persian composite bow, that was more powerful, could fire around 200 metres. During Xenophon's march of the 10,000 out of Asia, his Cretan archers suffered heavily at the hands of their Persian counterparts because the Persian bows outdistanced their own. The Cretans' lack of armour also meant they had little defence from the deadly hail of Persian arrows. The reason Alexander disbanded his forces sent by his allied mainland Greek city-states (united by the League of Corinth) was because he had captured the key Persian administrative capitals: Babylon, Susa, Persepolis and Ecbatana. In this act, the war of revenge against Persia for their invasions of Greece over 150 years before - which Alexander had cited to the mainland Greek cities as a main reason for his Persian campaign - ended. Those soldiers sent by the Greek city-states who remained in Alexander's army from 330 BC onwards did so as mercenaries, although Alexander soon left most of these to garrison his lands in Bactria (modern day Afghanistan). It was this heavy Greek presence in Bactria that proved the origins for the later rise of a Hellenic kingdom in the far east: the Greco-Bactrian kingdom! But that story is for another day. Ipsus is not far away my friends...

Chrisnivo, the Macedonian shield bearers, most commonly referred to as '' Hypaspists'', were no special forces for the Macedonian army. As you said, their job was to protect the phalanx from being flanked. Their weapons and armor was similar to those of the Athenian hoplites, in contrast to the rest of the army. They carried a large shield called ''aspis''(shield, in greek), which gave them the advantage of surprise, being able to hide their sword called ''xiphos'' behind the shield and strike suddenly, without giving the enemy a clue about were they are going to strike.

The ability of Alexander to incorporate soldiers from his enemies into his own army cannot be overlooked! Scythian horse archers...Elephants..etc. His army would have a similar composition as the enemy which would've been demoralizing.

I think you guys do a great job with both accuracy and entertainment. I wanted to make a suggestion about a possible battle to cover, but seeing as I am not a patron (yet!), I was unable to leave a suggestion in a post. The Battle of Sascayhuaman, a battle between the Inca and the Spanish Conquistadors. If you look at a picture of this fortress, it is easy to see why. The Inca say they didn't build this site, that it pre-dates them, which is even more amazing. Well, I wish you continued success for your KZbin page.

In regards to the site pre-dating the Inca well, nearly everything in the Andes pre-dated the Inca, they only appeared during the last 100 years of pre-Hispanic Andean history :D

it actually makes sense. India is a country with rich soil, deep forests, moisture, hymidity and with a tropic climate which means that you can get thunderstorms while it is still hot as hell . No human can wage war in such an environment especially if he is not native to such conditions. Humidity is actually a lot worse than you can imagine, because it doubles the casualties from a battle. A single open wound, can quickly become a severe infection in a humid environment compared to a dry environment. Alexander came from a country that has a mediterenian climate - think of it like a 50-50 balance between humidity and dryness. Genkis Khan came from the steppes of mongolia, as the name suggests, he came from a place where the climate was mostly if not entirely dry. Both of these people, and their armies, would not be able to withstand Indias humid environment. Alexander only managed to raid a couple of cities before he was forced to retreat because of the sickness his army suffered,
