Presented by Tristan Hughes of History Hit. Alexander the Great is one of the most famous generals and empire builders in history, but the story of his death is almost as remarkable as his life.
Join us to hear Tristan Hughes host of the History Hit podcast The Ancients, and Alexander the Great superfan. He will tell the almost unbelievable tale of what happened after Alexander died. It is a titanic struggle for power and control over his empire that involves war, body snatching, extremely slow carriage chases and a thousand soldiers being eaten alive by crocodiles in the Nile.
