Pyrrhus of Epirus

greatest admiral too :)

>Philip II was Macedonian
>Alexander III was Macedonian
>Pyrrhus was Epirote
>Mithridates VI was Pontic
>All the Diadochi were Macedonian

So we're left with shit like Epaminondas, Iphicrates and others?

You see what you did there. Two words. COPPED OUT. Fucking hell bruh this is a history board and you give no "for instance." Alexander was brilliant given his circumstances. Yes he liked his wine/Persian babes/boys but he was willing to jump an enemy Malli wall on his Indian campaign and thereby spur his own men into action and win the day (after getting shot). Fuck Oliver Stone, and his glossy as fuck "film". Alexander moved an army + all of the needed babes/boys and food across an area longer than the United States, most of which being hostile territory and all along the way naming every damn town after himself. Alexander didn't just conquer half the known world, he grabbed it by its dusty love handles and fucked it into submission. Case and point. Pyrrhus was awesome, but Alexander was dope. Nasty.

Xenophon?
