PANEL DISCUSSION, MARCH 11: 331-324 BCE
 
  • India and Return to Susa
    Alexander's last campaign eastward brought him into conflict with Indian peoples. How did these campaigns differ from the previous engagements? How did Alexander handle the departure from India and the return to Susa? What features of this engagement and retreat do the sources praise, and which do they disparage? What alternatives did Alexander have, and on that basis speculate as to how far eastward he might have proceeded with his invasion?
