Étiquette : Engagement

Alexander the Great arrived on the shores of Persia along with his men, as soon as they got there they realised they were vastly outnumbered…

Alexander’s men pleaded that they retreat at once, returning at a later date with more men.

99% of men would suggest exactly the same thing, it’s the logical answer right?Alexander the Great however decided to take a slightly different approach…

He ordered his men to burn their boats at onceAs their only means of retreat went up in flames, legend has it that Alexander turned to his men and said “we go home in Persian ships, or we die”
