Rebels n Maedea, Thrace

I have written a short piece about this battle which Alexander did win and renamed the city for himself Alexandropolis...the first rebellion and battle that he fought on his own with experienced and inexperienced men alike. He had just spent time at Perinthos where he had acquitted himself well. I wrote several entries regarding that effort which was most unsuccessful for Philip. But it was the first battle that Alexander actively participated in and is an interesting study of how he again looked after his father's wellbeing. I won't place bits and pieces of the novel here now as I have already posted more than enough to give a taste of what it is like...not really enough but at least an indication...most authors give their readers a glimpse into the first chapter which is the bait chapter...my first chapter is about his birth so it is not bait at all...Just a combination of events to assure Philip of his own destiny.

  1. Don't forget he actively participated in the Battle of Charonea leading the cavalry to destroy the Sacred Band of Thebes. That was his first battle with his father at age 16 I believe.
