About this quiz

What you’ll practice

From Granicus to Gaugamela and beyond, this quiz sharpens your grasp of Alexander’s campaign sequence, strategic goals, and the geography that shaped each move.

You’ll also review how the empire was administered (satraps, key capitals, and logistics) and how that system unraveled into competing successor states after 323 BCE.

Format and difficulty settings

Each question has 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through names that look similar and map events to the right region.

Choose your question count before you start, and pick an easier or harder setting if you want more fundamentals or more deep-cut Diadochi detail; the overall experience stays balanced by mixing straightforward recall with tougher distinctions.

Common pitfalls to avoid

  • Mixing up the Diadochi (Antigonus/Antipater, Seleucus/Lysimachus, Ptolemy/Perdiccas) and their territories
  • Confusing battle order and locations (Granicus, Issus, Gaugamela, Hydaspes)
  • Treating “Persia” as one place instead of a patchwork of satrapies and capitals
  • Overlooking naval and diplomatic moves that mattered as much as field battles
  • Misplacing Hellenistic kingdoms on the map (Egypt, Syria/Mesopotamia, Macedon/Thrace)

How to improve your score

When you miss a question, note whether it was a person, place, or timeline error, then replay with a smaller question count to target weak areas before scaling back up. Repetition helps most with similar-sounding names and rapidly changing post-Alexander alliances.
