"A Pyrrhic Victory" refers to one that comes at such a cost that it threatens to destroy the victor. In the 22 years since the death of Alexander the Great, his empire has been divided between his generals. King Pyrrhus of Epirus becomes a major figure in the struggles of the Hellenistic World, and will later invade Italy to dispute the mastery of the Mediterranean with the Romans. Pyrrhus was described by Hannibal as the finest commander the world had seen after Alexander himself.
