The Battle of Gaugamela begins with Alexander the Great’s carefully planned offensive, as he faces Darius III's vast Persian army, setting the stage for a clash of empires
Who is this great king who pays assassins in gold coins
to murder my father, our king,
in a most despicable and cowardly manner?
Who is this great king, Darius,
who enslaves his own men to fight?
Who is this king but a king of air?
These men do not fight for their homes.
They fight because this king tells them they must.
When they fight, they will melt away like the air.
We are here today as Macedonian free men!
Some of you, perhaps myself,
will not live to see the sun set over these mountains today.
But I say to you,
what every warrior has known since the beginning of time,
conquer your fear!
And I promise you, you will conquer death!
What's so frightening? You will answer!
I was here this day at Gaugamela
for the freedom
and glory
of Greece!
Zeus, be with us!
Where does he go?
I don't know.
Envelop him, Vesus.
My son! Go!
Yes, great king.
Yes, go!
