Athens sent the greatest naval expedition in history to conquer Sicily. Every single ship was destroyed. Every single soldier was killed or enslaved. Twenty years later, a 25-year-old Macedonian conquered the entire known world in eleven years. We cover two chapters from Fifteen Decisive Battles of the World by Sir Edward Creasy (1851). Syracuse: how the heroes of Marathon became the villains. Alcibiades -- the most brilliant traitor in ancient history, who defected to Sparta and gave them the playbook to destroy Athens. The night battle on Epipolae where Athenians killed Athenians in the moonlit chaos. The Boeotian brigade that held firm and turned the tide. Nicias and Demosthenes executed in cold blood. Seven thousand prisoners in the stone quarries. Creasy's comparison to Napoleon at St. Jean d'Acre. And the Iraq War parallel -- Nicias warned of inadequate forces like General Shinseki before Iraq. Arbela: Napoleon rated Alexander one of seven greatest generals in history. Alexander was 25 years old. Persian army numbers inflated from 1 million to the modern estimate of 90,000-100,000. The scythed chariots -- classified as "Hellenistic gimmick weapons" by modern military historians. Parmenio proposed a night attack. Alexander refused -- "he scorned to steal a victory." Darius fled on horseback. And Creasy's most Victorian moment: comparing Alexander's conquests to "England's present mission to break up the mental and moral stagnation of India and Cathay." Two KEEP/CUT votes. 74 claims fact-checked. Zero Hallucination Protocol verified. Dead Authors Club is BSKiller Book Autopsy Season 2.
