Gadfly to Golden Girdle of Ares Gordian Knot to Gyro
A Mesopotamian city on the eastern side of the Tigris River in central Persia.
When Alexander the Great and his army invaded Persia, the Persian king, Darius III, could not withstand the superior military strategies or leadership of the Greek forces; two years after his humiliating defeat at Issus in 333 BCE, Darius once again faced Alexander near the city of Gaugamela; again, Darius fled in utter defeat and left his army to be routed by the numerically inferior Greeks; this battle is often referred to as the Battle of Arbela.
