In the footsteps of Alexander the Great
In this award winning adventure Micheal Wood embarks on a 2000 mile journey in the foot steps of Alexander's triumphal march from Greece to India. Travelling with Lebanese traders, Iranian pilgrims and Afghan guerillas, by jeep, train, boat, camel and on foot, he interweaves the momentous events of the past with present day reality and brings us new insights into a man whose myth and acheivements still resonate down the centuries.
"We saw things I can scarcely believe. We took shelter for the night with an Afghan warlord who had delivered pizzas in the United States, and were hauled off to jail more than once. It was one of the great experiences of my life" - Michael Wood

Thanks, I look forward to the rest.
what happened was during the Persian empire many Greeks worked for the Persians, many of whom were forced labourers from Asia Minor (which was then part of the Persian empire)
Many of these Greeks were shipped off into central asia to change the demograghics hence why there was a Greek character which was present there when Alexander finally crossed those areas.
