Once again Netflix let history down and insulted people.
First with their take on Cleopatra.
Secondly by portraying the Persians as a just empire that the whole ancient world loved. In reality the people under the Persian empire such as Iraq (Babylon) Egypt and Ionia. Hated the Persians. Persia kept trying to Sabotage Greece and kept trying to bestow Persian Hegemony. Alexander was welcomed as a liberator. The Persians were seen as sabotagers. Alexander the Great acted with far more confidence than the docuseries portrays. Alexander won his army's trust . Not at Granicus but from previous Campaigs.As in ILLYRIA , Charronea and the seige of Thebes
