The death of Alexander of Epirus

The death of Alexander of Epirus on the banks of Acheron.

According to the prophecy, this infamous Alexander would died in the Acheron River.
To avoid it, he sailed off with army to the south of Italy. At that time the Lucanians lived there - a wild Italian tribe.

One day, such heavy rain began to fall that they had flooded the whole country, and the resulting wetlands had cut off the Alexander army.
The Lucanians then attacked the Epeirians and killed each part separately.
In the last part was king Alexander himself.
His soldiers began to wade through the swamp and murmured that this is Acheron ("hell river").
When Alexander heard this, he urged his horse to get as quickly as possible from the river, but one of the Lucanians threw his spear and killed the king.

The lesson is, as Livy himself writes, that we can try to escape our problems, but they will always find us - maybe even in a different form ...

Oh yeah and Alexander of Epirus was uncle of Alexander the Great.
