3.52 Greek Rule in Egypt: Alexander and Ptolemy

November 01, 2018

In this episode, I cover the period when Alexander expanded the Greek kingdom to its largest extent, from Europe to North Africa, and as far east as parts of India. And then, quite unexpectedly and at the young age of 32, he died. And without a clear heir. The formerly great kingdom was plunged into civil war. I wrap up with the history of Ptolemy, the first post-Alexander ruler of Greek Egypt. After listening, let me know what you think.
