<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ryro, post: 5289028, member: 91461&quot;]You are in for a treat my friend!</p><p>Some fun facts that I was and wasn&#039;t aware:</p><p>Pyrrhus was Alexander the great&#039;s first cousin once removed (on Olympia&#039;s side).</p><p>Adversaries to his claim to Epirus were sent to, and nearly, kill him when he was a baby. But he was saved by a few female attendants who, with the enemy hoto n their heels, got him across a large river to safety with the help of a few locals!</p><p>When he was just 18 he fought under Demetrius Poliorcetes (The Besieger) and Pyrrhus side was winning while Demetrius was ultimately defeated,&nbsp; all agreed it was not due to the fantastic exploits of our young hero in the battle. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221814[/ATTACH] </p><p>Pyrrhus married Ptolemy I&#039;s step daughter.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1221815[/ATTACH] </p><p>I&#039;d read that he was hideous previously. But Abott states that he was handsome, looking like his cousin Alexander the great. </p><p>So many kingdoms, so many battles and he was just a few years older than me when an old lady dropped a tile on his head![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
