This is ludicrous. The Person who was the founder of Maurya Empire, who killed Dhanananda and defeated him in his own game, who was so shrewd that he got the nickname Kautilya, how come he could not see a tiny greek princess manipulation Bindusara.
Megasthenes wrote in his book that Sandrocottus used to pay regard to his prime minister i.e kautilya and touched his feet every day. When The Emperor himself could not question chanakya how come Helen questioned Chanakya about Durdhara's death. Helen for real could never have been rajmata. Rajmata was an important post. As Durdhara was dead, some other queen would have been rajmata who brought him up or the post was vacant. Helen barely remained 7 years with Chandragupta and in such short time she could not make such emotional relation with Bindusara. She may have been Mahishi in Chandragupta's reign but such authority I find illogical. In real Chanakya would have ended up killing Helen if she meddled in state's affairs and Chandragupta wouldn't even utter a word.😆
I read somewhere that Durdhara was actually Greek and her name was Diodora. Well this is not an historical fact at all, just an internet scam, still I find it interesting. ha ha...😆
