@liamomaraiv.bsky.social#AlexanderTheGreat, so-called, defeated #DariusIII, and the #Achaemenid #PersianEmpire, in the #BattleOfGaugamela on #ThisDayInHistory in 331 BCE. Alexander got lucky when the #Persian cavalry rushed to loot his supply train rather than attacking his exposed #phalanx from behind.
