I’m spending far too much free time working with Greek. (The above says “Alexandros” as in Alexander the Great.)
I am steeling myself to watch “Alexander: The Making of a God” on Netflix. I’m sure it will be deeply questionable, much life the “Cleopatra” and “Mehmed” series. But it does make me wish someone would get off the Alexander focus and move on to the Wars of the Diadochi (Διαδοχων). There is so much to work with: Ptolemy stealing Alexander’s coffin! Seleucus! War with India! Pyrrhus and his “victories.” Constant warfare. Very game of thrones-like.
I liked “Alexander: The Making of a God”, but I approached it purely as entertainment. They didn’t really go beyond Darius.
