Here's one about the Greek
invasion of the Near East.

00:00:48.660 --> 00:00:50.535 align:middle line:84%
It's called "How
We Heard the Name."

00:00:50.535 --> 00:00:56.240 align:middle line:90%


00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:00.800 align:middle line:84%
"The river brought down
dead horses, dead men

00:01:00.800 --> 00:01:06.290 align:middle line:84%
and military debris,
indicative of war or official

00:01:06.290 --> 00:01:11.180 align:middle line:84%
acts upstream, but
it went by, it all

00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:15.830 align:middle line:84%
goes by, that is the

00:01:26.690 --> 00:01:32.900 align:middle line:84%
and this junk come down to
us so from the past upstream.

00:01:32.900 --> 00:01:37.430 align:middle line:84%
Friends, he said, the
great Battle of Granicus

00:01:37.430 --> 00:01:41.390 align:middle line:84%
has just been won
by all of the Greeks

00:01:41.390 --> 00:01:46.190 align:middle line:84%
except the Lacedaemonians
and myself--

00:01:46.190 --> 00:01:49.580 align:middle line:84%
this is a joke
between me and a man

00:01:49.580 --> 00:01:56.680 align:middle line:84%
named Alexander, whom all of you
ba-bas will hear of as a God."
