概要

Darius III wasn't just facing an external threat from Macedonia. By the time Alexander crossed the Hellespont, the Persian Empire was already fractured by a decade of civil war, court intrigue, and rebellion in its satrapies. In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the succession crisis after Artaxerxes III, the role of the eunuch Bagoas who poisoned two kings, and the revolt of Egypt and the western satraps that drained Persian resources. They examine how the Persian 'King of Kings' had become a pawn of his own nobility, and how the Battle of Issus in 333 BCE was as much a result of internal rot as Macedonian genius. Along the way, they touch on the last stand of the Persian Immortals, the betrayal of the Greek mercenaries at the Granicus River, and the forgotten story of Memnon of Rhodes—the Greek commander who almost stopped Alexander. A fresh angle on an old story: the Persian Empire fell not because Alexander was great, but because Persia had already fallen apart from within.
