Hehehe ... cool, you direct, I'll write, and we'll have a movie of our own. ;)
Memnon was a bloody effective general, he kept Alexander's hands full for a while. I don't think that he made the mistake of underestimating the man that he was up against, but I do think that Darius - or at least Darius' nobles and officers - did fall into that trap. I'm not sure I really do Memnon justice here, but you'll meet him again in my other work, more fleshed out than in this quick piece.
