  • Fair documentary, but the narrator keeps on referring to Alexander and his army as 'Greeks'. They were not Greeks, they were Macedonians. They didn't have the same military equipment, tactics or culture as Greece. Even the Greeks didn't consider Macedonia as Greek. Cities like Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes, Argos, Megara reluctantly sent troops for Alexander's expedition but a lot more Greeks actually fought on Darius' side.
