Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the Ancient Civilizations continues with an episode on Alexander in India and the Indo-Greek syncretism it led to. When Alexander the Great marched into Gandhara, his Greek soldiers were shocked to find what seemed to be familiar deities—Herakles and Dionysos—worshipped in the region. But was this truly the case, or did the Greeks misinterpret local Indian and Iranian gods through the lens of Interpretatio Graeca? Our journey begins with an Introduction to Greek and Indian Perceptions, exploring how these two civilizations viewed each other. As we examine Herakles, Dionysos, and Alexander in India, we uncover how Greek mythology blended with local beliefs. Who were the Indian Gods Identified as Herakles and Dionysos? We explore their connections to Krishna, Vajrapani, and Rudra. This cultural exchange continued beyond Alexander’s time, influencing Religious Syncretism and Gandharan Art. Finally, we see how Greek, Indian, and Iranian Deities Merged, shaping religious traditions for centuries. Subscribe for more insights into ancient history!
