We usually remember her as love interest of Alexander and the one who send rakhi to Porus. In this serials she hasn't entered yet but she will soon as she is very important character. Alexander's life can be divided into two parts. Pre Roxana and post Roxana.

Pre Roxanne Alexander is just invincible. He has trust of his soldiers Macedonians, Greek, Egyptians and Persians.

Post Roxanne Alexander is quite vulnerable. His generals and soldiers trust him no more. Especially the Macedonians and Greeks. His teacher is angry with him. The real trouble arises when he appoints her father and brother as his army commanders. They were inept yet received high posts and when Alexander invaded Afghanistan his Persian side of army (Barsine supporters) abandoned him. Afghans destroyed his army . He won but he was no more the invincible commander he was. And when he entered India, his army is half and when Battle of Jhelum was over, only Macedonians were left with him and they too revolted.

As per historians if he had married Barsine before Roxanne it would have helped him a lot. Also Barsine was a very Docile, kind heart person, whereas Roxanne was almost like his mother olympia...She was extraordinarily beautiful but very hot headed and ruthless.

It is said that Alexander had begun to fall for Barsine also. He was training her to be her empress off course along with Roxanne. After Alexander death, Roxanne did what olympia did to her challengers. She brutally murdered Barsine and Haphestian's wife (Barsine's sister).
And off-course she got thumbs up from her saas olympia 😆

Now if invincible Alexander is entering India, then how will Porus resist him. So Roxanne is needed to make him look a bit weak.That's why i think she will enter the scene as Alexander story is about 80 percent true here...😊

I don't think roxxane did anything which was not done before her or after her. Even Cassandar did same 2 roxxane & Olympia 4 power . As we don't have much info of barsine relation with Alexander is given , no where it is mentioned out of luv Alexander was educating barsine in Macedonian culture, I had read he arranged teachers 4 both his queens barsine & his third queen & Alex already decided 2 marry barsine. He was husband of barsine so definitely they share a luving relationship but every where it is mentioned that roxxane was very imp 4 Alexander where his other marriages were political.
Sorry so no where it is mentioned that roxxane was reason of Alexander's downfall, if so plz post d article , coz currently I m gathering info about roxxane , I don't find such

Who know if roxxane had not killed barsine maybe barsine would had killed roxxane, can u guarantee barsine would had not harmed roxxane.

Main prob b/w alex & generals was alexander adopting Persian culture & sorry again dint find such article which state alex army left him. Alexander was a very gud politicians also definately know how 2 manage his army, i tried 2 search articles related roxxane reason of alexander's failure & alexander's army abonden him but sorry i dint find such articles , i hope u can help me with this by giving me d link of such articles

Game of politics every character is a grey character who can be wrong from other's pov but is not wrong from his pov.
