PANEL DISCUSSION, FEBRUARY 27: 331-330 BCE

Alexander's character Taking into account the events leading up to and immediately succeeding the battle of Gaugamela, at which Alexander defeats the Persian king Darius and conquers his kingdom, how would you describe Alexander's character? Was he prone to displays of clemency, or was he ruthless and heartless? Did he understand the value of expressions of humanity, or was he a wanton wagerer of war whose only concerns were conquest and victory ... at any cost?
