		Generally the Macedonian side under Alexander is roughly based on a 1:100 ratio, whereas the Indians of Porus are less well defined, with one infantry and cavalry man representing about 200 real life soldiers.
		The terrain is mostly a flat sandy plain with the Indians formed with their left flank on the muddy banks of the Hydaspes.
		Alexander’s general Craterus held the crossing points in force, and Porus needed to leave some troops behind to cover the river crossing.

	Anthology - LoveToKnow 1911
		About 60 B.C., the sophist and poet, Meleager of Gadara, undertook to combine the choicest effusions of his predecessors into a single body of fugitive poetry.
		In the age of the emperor Tiberius (or Trajan, according to others) the work of Meleager was continued by another epigrammatist, Philippus of Thessalonica, who first employed the term anthology.
		Meleager of Gadara was a Syrian; his taste was less severe, and his temperament more fervent than those of his Greek predecessors; his pieces are usually erotic, and their glowing imagery sometimes reminds us of the Song of Solomon.

	The Boar Symbol
		Meleager looses two spears at the boar; the first misses and sticks in the ground, but the second lodges in the middle of the beast's back.
		Meleager's mother, Althaea, had been told of her son's victory and she was on her way to the temple with offerings, when she saw the bodies of her two brothers being carried back.
		Meleager, who was not present, felt the heat of the flames and as the log was consumed by the fire, Meleager, bearing his agony with courage, regretting that his end was so inglorious, breathed his last into the thin air as the white ashes settled over the glowing embers.

		Meleager’s mother, Althaea, quickly rescued the piece of wood and kept it hidden as her son grew to adulthood and even became one of the Argonauts with Hercules, the son of Zeus.
		Generally remaining remote to the affairs of the gods, the Fates have taken part in battles that affected the Olympian Gods themselves.

		Meleager’s plotting, characterizations, and overall conception are executed with mature assurance, and in all ways the author is firmly in control of his material.
		Meleager was put on again three years later as entertainment for a visitation by the Earl of Leicester, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, accompanied by his nephew Sir Philip Sidney.
		In the General Introduction to his poetry I shall argue that he kept this notebook so as to have a repository of unprinted material he could reemploy in the future.

	CALYDONIAN HUNTERS, Greek Mythology Link - www.maicar.com
		When Meleager received the skin, he gave it to Atalanta, but the sons of Thestius 1, who took part in the hunt representing the Curetes, did not approve Meleager's gesture, for in their simple minds they were of the opinion that a woman should not get a prize in the face of men.
		Meleager, disliking the way in which his will was not respected, slew the sons of Thestius 1 and gave the skin to Atalanta.
		Some have said, however, that the boar's skin caused a civil war between the Curetes, represented by the sons of Thestius 1, and the Calydonians, represented by Meleager, and that Meleager killed his mother's brothers in battle, and perished himself in the same war.

		Meleager then urged them not to leave Alexander's body, but they thought he was looking for a way to trap them, so they slipped away through another part of the royal quarters towards the Euphrates.
		He had men complain that Meleager should not be a general, and Meleager complained to Perdiccas who agreed that the men should be punished.

	Atalanta
		Meleager, being the young dare-devil he was, and an excellent hunter took his spear and gorged the Boar.
		Meleager got the skin and the credit (it was his spear that had the mortal wound after all) but was enlightened and cool and infatuated enough to give it to Atalanta.
		His mother (Althaea) couldn't forgive him for her brother's death, and killed Meleager by throwing the log into the fire that the Fates had magically tied his life with..

	A Study of Mythic Incorporation and Divergence in Iliad 9 and Bacchylides' Ode 5
		Meleager's affirmative reply includes Deïaneira's name, meaning "destroyer of her spouse," and therefore Heracles is blind not to see the connections between feminine anger (or women in general) and the destruction of men.
		In the ensuing battle, Meleager kills his uncles (in this rendering of the myth, unlike in Bacchylides, the slaughter is intentional, as Meleager's uncles are of the Curetes while Meleager himself is Aetolian), and Althaea, in turn, curses Meleager.
		Meleager's wrath obviously corresponds with that of Achilles, for Homer is so eager to make the details of his story work that some of his "lines fit Achilles exactly.

	Antigonus
		The answer of who would lead the empire fell to the Macedonian military and the general who were in Babylon, in what became the crisis for succession after Alexander's death.
		The story of the successors is a contest for power among the generals who favored the idea of unity of the empire and those who vigorously pursued power through their independent satraps.
		War between the generals went on almost without interruption from Alexander's death until the battle of Ipsus in 301 B.C., in which the allied kings defeated Antigonus and his son Demettrius, the last of the successors who fought for the unity of Alexander's empire.

		When Meleager was born, the Moirae predicted he would only live until a brand, burning in the family hearth, was consumed by fire.
		With Atalanta, Meleager may have been the father of Parthenopeus, although in other versions Hippomenes was his father.

	The Struggle of the Diadochoi
		The great generals of the deceased king became thus, almost of necessity, aspirants to the regal dignity; and it was scarcely possible that their rival claims could be settled without an appeal to arms and a long and bloody struggle.
		The generals who had received provinces were viewed by Perdiccas as mere governors intrusted with their administration, and answerable to the kings for it.
		Ptolemy declining the regency, it was conferred by the army of Perdiccas on Pithon and ArrhidÊus, two of their generals, who with difficulty maintained their position against the intrigues of Eurydice, the young wife of the mock monarch, Philip Arrhidaeus, until the arrival of Antipater in Syria, to whom they resigned their office.

		In spite of their individualism, exponents of this movement should be classed according to three general types, reflecting the development of Cynic philosophy between the early Hellenistic period and the first centuries of the present era.
		While their own eccentric life-style was not seriously advocated for the populace in general, they thought of themselves as supplying the extreme example to counterbalance an extremely perverted society, whose scale of values had gone awry.
		Like Meleager, he claims to discover philosophical allegory in Homer for the sake of spoudogeloion.34 Oenomaus¹ diatribes were thus expressed with a traditionally Gadarene, serio-comic irony, akin to that of both Menippus and Meleager.

		He was a mere general who fought the Gauls and won but did not really want Macedonia for himself.

		Already, before the king's death, Meleager had given evidence of an insolent and factious disposition, and these qualities broke out in their full force during the discussions which ensued after the death of Alexander.
		Diodorus, again, states that he was sent by the assembled generals to appease the clamours and discontent of the troops, but instead of doing so he himself joined the routineers.
		In any case it is certain that Meleager early assumed the lead of the opposition to Perdiccas and his party; and placed himself at the head of the infantry, who had declared themselves (probably at his instigation) in favour of the claims of Arrhidaeus to the vacant throne.

		Sigrún, for example, may have seemed to him to resemble Atalanta, Meleager's love, who was a huntress, and one of Diana's maiden-nymphs, (26) and who, armed as a man, took part with the men in the chase of the Calydonian boar.
		It is perhaps also worth mentioning that Meleager is called a son of Mars, and that the Helgi-poet represents his hero as sprung from a race of famous warriors.
		The sibyl (völva) in her prophecy (Vpá, 23) indicates Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld as those who decide the fates of men in general, and in Fáfnismál (12, 13) the Norns are said to come to women in travail to deliver them.

		The generic situation in the simile is thus strikingly parallel to the specific situation of Andromache at the end of the Iliou Persis.
		The ranking of the hero's social affinities at IX 574-591 implicitly presents Meleager as one who loves the elders not so much as the priests not so much as his father not so much as his sisters not so much as his mother not so much as his hetairoi not so much as his wife.

		The stage is set for Meleager to prevent another rape upon the sack of his city.
