...tabhi woh khud chod ke aayega...porus dint knew about chanakya plan of kidnapping olympia from before...he clearly said he doesnt want to bring her...he wanted her to leave...but she decided to stay...and still she got better treatment than how barsine was treated by alexander. She was roaming around the mahal, listening to their conversation, snapping back at pourav people for no good reasons and finally performed black magic. Agar usse kidnapping se problem thi toh why couldnt she just go...uske peeche toh sainik tak nahi chod rakhe the pourav rashtra waalo ne...but woh chahthi thi ki alex ko pata chale...uska gussa uble aur woh attack kare. Tab tak woh chain se pourav rashtra mein rahegi. She did not performed black magic because woh ek kone mein rone waali maa mein se nahi hain...she did it because she is evil...she also decided to stay back because she wanted to perform black magic and harm them...waise bhi nothing justifies black magic for me...but she fell even more down by trying to kill a son through a mother...soacho jara usse koi alexander ko marwa deta toh...such a disgusting act...dono maa bete bilkul ek jaise hain...like mother like son...par kuch kar nahi pai woh...kyonki ussi ke zeus ne uspar ussi ka magic ulta diya...kya hain na zeus bhi burai ka saath nahi de sakte the and he punished olympia.
And in which way a royal lady per her statue would be dismissed like that ? Chanakya killed all the Macedonian
fauj accompanying her for her safety, and forcefully escorted her on the soil of enemy and once she got there, they are going to release her. Heck not ! In her place, I would choose to remain too otherwise what an insult and low purpose of my hostage would it have been ? With which face do you think Olympia's gonna return to her son saying I was hold captive by your foes on my way ? On the pedestal on which Alexander puts his mother, wouldn't it be like he already lost the purpose of this battle from a moral and psychological aspect ? And how are they going to let her off without facing any consequences for their audacious act ? After all that, if Olympia still went on to obey and proceeded to leave as per Porus's sayings, it would be like she's herself failing and insulting her son's power and capacity. Oh common, are we really going to pretend now that Porus knew nothing about Chanakya's method to bring Olympia in PR ?
Barsine and her Kunbe's situation is different. They are a coward and defeated ruler's family that Alexander still went on initially to pose himself as their guardian and treat them with respect as per their statue and in return, he used them as a way to legitimize his power on his newly conquered land, which is a political move like another at that time. He only started to treat them condescendingly, with much defiance and spitefulness when he came to know how they planned on to escape with the support of his greatest enemy. They came out as much coward and unchivalrous as Darius.
Finally, Zeus was not a virtuous deity or God himself. He's undoubtedly the most powerful and fearful among the lot of deities and stood above all of them in the Greek mythology but he was as much profaning, involved in debauchery, vanity, sin and incest as any other deities.
