Like the narrative follows Alexander as we go through the battle.

The idea we get in regards to the larger battle, and then this is basically it, we can focus in on like the stories of Alexander, is that I think like cavalry go across first and they're actually annihilated by the Persians, so the Persians kind of get first blood.

Then Alexander, who's on the right wing with his companions, he charges across the river.

He is actually fighting where all of their governors are on the Persian side.

So you can get a sense why he's aiming for that area.

And that will be something that repeats again.

So that all the big figures on that area.

And then I guess you can just imagine in the meantime, the, the pipe men, the infantry in the middle are going across the river against the Greek mercy.

Well, well against whoever's fighting on the Persian side in the middle.

And then Parmenion's on the left with the Thessalians or whatever.

And he's doing that.

We don't hear much about that at all.

What we hear about is what Alexander's doing on the right.

And, you know, as you correctly say, if they know that Alexander's there and they've positioned themselves with property, their best household troops to face him, we do hear some amazing stories, don't we?

And Alexander's so distinguishable as well with his big plume, I guess, that people can recognize him straight away.

So he is a walking target.

He thinks he's destined for big, big things.

And it proves so.

And I think just wrapping up Granicus, it very much feels that the top dogs in the Persian army, many of them fall on the field.

And the army kind of disperses from there.
