Abstract

In 325 B. C. ALEXANDER the Great decided to return to the west at the mouth of Indus. The great Macedonian army provided by a number of nations started its campaign through GEDROSIA (Baluchestan) commanded by ALEXANDER. His fleet supported the ground army under the command of Nearchus on Oman Sea. Greek geographers divided Baluchestan into three regions: Oritiae, the Coast of Fish Eaters and GEDROSIA. ALEXANDER faced a number of challenges while crossing the three regions, partly due to his army’s unfamiliarity with the area. In fact, the severity of these problems was far greater than were anticipated from the beginning of the war on the border of Granicus up to the end of it on the mouth of Indus. ALEXANDER, in spite of knowing that GEDROSIA had a severe nature and lack of the foodstuffs and grass plots, decided to cross it because of his self-pride and his supernatural ability. Did he succeed to reach all his ambitious goals? Since GEDROSIA did not have a central advanced urbanization system, how it this perceived by historians and geographers?This article aims not only to answer the two mentioned questions but also explain the whole operations by ALEXANDER and his army in GEDROSIA, the circumstances of their coming in contact with environment and geographical phenomenon’s of the region according to Greek historians and geographers on the basis of descriptive-analysis method.
