Alexander was the only one who could ride the horse
after battle they would sacrifice a bull
He tricks them into thinking he made a mistake for running away,but he was leading them away
A lot of blood and guts and gore but not as bad as I thought it would be
Derius got so scared he ran away, killing some of his own men
Alexander was king at age 25
worst/ bloodiest battles he had been in
