Today in Western Civilization Class we watched a movie, and we watched the battle against Persia at Gaugamela.  I thought it was  very good movie, and portrayed battle back then  as to what it was actually like.  The part where one of the Greeks decapitated a Persian and swung his head around was by far the coolest part of that battle.  When King Darius III fled at the end when Alexander broke through, you got to see how much Alexander wanted to kill him.  He ran thorugh two ranks of Persians and through a spear at him.  But, being a coward King darius fled, without trying to fight him.  Know I can see why one of his officers killed him.
