Olympias has all right to boast about her son

Exactly! And she raised a very good point about the strength of the Macedonian army and its victories across so many lands over so many years. None of this would have been possible without the right leader at the helm, the great military commander who led from the front and always fought alongside his men.

An army of lions led by a lion!!!! 👏

Yes, of course. Complete with the lion helmet! And yes again, he always fought right besides his men.

Which makes it all the more odd that Chanakya was rescued so easily and Olympias' sanskaari apaharan took place, both with the Macedonian soldiers on duty. being killed so easily by the tribals and by Chanakya's shishyas.

That is why Alexander wanted to be at war all the time, to keep his army fighting fit. They have now been idling for too long at Takshashila, and have gone soft.
