Darius must have been soooo overconfidentAug 06, 2006
By Steve A. Johnston
The computer animation plus narration gave me a sense of tension as to how the battle would be fought. I had never before heard of such unequal odds: 250,000 Persian soldiers and cavalry outnumbered the (well-trained) Greeks 5:1. Alexander even possessed brillance in persuading his army to stand and fight. -- Comparisons might be made with the "You Are There" history series, one which emphasised interviews with critical figures in the event. The combination of the two would likely have elicited a 5-star rating. As is, I still found it compelling.
