A proposito di questo titolo

While Alexander's generals squabbled over scraps of his empire, a young man in India was building an empire of his own. Chandragupta Maurya, advised by the strategist Chanakya, founded the Maurya Empire by seizing the Nanda throne, then turned west to confront Seleucus I Nicator, Alexander's successor in the east. The resulting peace treaty ceded vast territories to Chandragupta and sealed a diplomatic alliance sealed by intermarriage. This episode explores how Chandragupta's rise, his methods (including the advice of the Arthashastra), and his encounter with Seleucus shaped the political map of the Hellenistic world. We also discuss Chandragupta's eventual conversion to Jainism, his abdication, and the legacy of his dynasty—including his grandson Ashoka. Discover how a conqueror from the east matched wits with the successors of Alexander, and why the Maurya Empire deserves a central place in the story of the post-Alexander world.
