He had but just time to get on horseback, and gallop away from the battle. Shortly afterwards, he was slain by two of his own subjects, as I have told you in the history of Peisi^, 6. After the victory, Alexander marched' to Persepolis, whicfiJ w*^ . then the capital of Persia. It was a rich and magnificent city. In the royal palace, there was a gigantic statue of Xerxes, but the Ma- cedonian soldiers overthrew it, and tumbled it upon the ground. 7. While he remained at Persepolis, Alexander ga...ve himself up to drunkenness and licentious pleasures. One night, at a splendid ban- quet, an Athenian lady persuaded the conqueror to set fire to the city. It was accordingly burnt to the ground. 8. When Persia was completely subdued, Alexander invaded In- dia, now Hindoetan. One of the kings of that country was named Porus. He is said to have been seven feet and a half in height. This gigantic king led a great army kgainst Alexander. 9. Porus was well provided with elephants, which had been trained to rush upon the enemy, and trample them down.
