Skovoroda & Major
Have you ever wondered how the maps of ancient commanders like Hannibal or Alexander shaped their strategies, and what that says about how we understand war and human ambition?
Sure. The old maps were like a playbook. Hannibal used the Appian Way to surprise the Romans, Alexander split his forces along the Hydaspes. Their maps told them where to step, when to hold, and how to outmaneuver the enemy. It shows war is a chess game on a grand scale, and ambition is the king’s drive to capture the board.
