Having learned that King Darius was murdered by his relative Bessus, who himself subsequently proclaimed to be the rightful Achaemenid king, Alexander III the Great started the pursuit of Bessus. After Bessus’ death, Alexander marched further east, entering ‘India’, in fact the Punjab. After an encounter with one of the kings of this region, King Porus, Alexander moved south over the River Indus to the Indian Ocean. From there he finally returned to Babylon (overcoming many hardships) and died there, either from natural causes or due to having been poisoned.
