Olympias she was ruthless when it came to her enemies...she killed and killed and killed. I am not saying she was a saint but she killed because there was no other choice. The situation was such. All the wives of Philip their relatives and his concubines were ganging up upon her just because she was not pure Greek blood and just because Philip was fond of Alexander . Hundred times they tried to kill Alexander and cleoptra. That new wife of Philip cleoptra and her brother gave poison to Alexander but someone else ate the food. Then attalus manipulated Philip in sending Alexander to fight the battles where it was certain that he will die. First wife of Philip mixed glass in his food to kill him. Philip gave orders to kill olympias and Alexander (though he was drunk and later repented). There are many more instances...
So instead of being a pleading mother she chose to destroy them and she did. she had her reasons to kill. She and her children had to survive so she didn't flinch from killing... See Anusuya the great also did the same but she is bhartiye Mata so it's ok. Now here People are overacting that Alexander brought that bull😆 but Chankya obviously will escape so bull will be useless. 😕
Abhi tak Alexander ne koi aise ghatiya kaam Kiya Nahin ke usse monster kaha Jaye...😊 may be killing of that orackle who was also not very good in fact...only bad work I can remember is that killing of baby ...which was evil I think...
Also Alexander is supposed to be the villain of the show and they are making him they are not concerned with the facts...they only want to make bharityes only civilized people. So much concerned they are that they don't even show Indian kings drinking wines😆
Chankya tried to kill him by treachery , Alexander paying him back...
Olympias was a strong woman in the men world. There are many views about her among historians of the world. But in her land she is a heroine not villain. She has coins, statues of her own, buildings and streets named after her...since alexander is a worldwide figure , she is also a ww figure. For some terrible monster woman. For some a strong willed woman...
