L’Egeo fra i Persiani e Alessandro il Grande

Abstract

The paper concerns the Aegean war operations between Macedonians and Persians (334-331 B.C.) and focuses on two topics of the year 333: did make Alexander a mistake when he disbanded his fleet? Was Memnon’s sudden death a really damage to the Persian hopes? Particular care is devoted to examine naval strategies and to discuss the reasons of their success or failure.
