Fan Casting Memnone of Rhodes

Role added by alessandrocalabrese on March 18, 2020

Description of Memnone of Rhodes:

Memnon of Rhodes was a mercenary general in service of King Darius III. He was really trusted by the King, but not by the satraps of Asia Minor. He proposed to them to use the tactic of scorched land against Alexander and isolate him from his supplies back to Greece, but the satraps of Frigia and Lydia wanted to attack as soon as possible. So the Persian army was defeated at the battle of River Granicus. Memnon lost the trust of Darius and he was obliged to send his wife Barsine in Babylon. Despite this, he tried his best to stop Alexander, at Miletus and Alicarnassus (losing after harsh fights), he tried to cut his supply lines, but died during a siege in Lesbos.
