Alexander crossed the Hellespont with ~37 000 men. Some modern historians suggest only 18 000 fought at Granicus. Where was the rest of the army?
Post Body
I know estimates vary wildly about the size of the two armies, but historians such as Devine (1986) and Lonsdale (2004) suggest the Macedonians only fielded 13 000 infantry and 5000 cavalry. Is there a reason why the entire Macedonian force would not have participated in the battle?
