      brought reluctantly from Macedonia by Amyntas, son of Andromenes, when he was sent home to
      collect levies in <date when-custom="-332">B. C. 332</date>. (<bibl n="Curt. 7.1">Curt. 7.1</bibl>,
      ad fin.; see Vol. I. p. 155b.) Gorgias was one of the commanders left by <ref target="alexander-the-great-bio-1">Alexander</ref> in Bactria to complete the reduction of
      the Bactrian insurgents, and to check further rebellion, while the king himself marched to
      quell the revolt in Sogdiana, <date when-custom="-328">B. C. 328</date>. (Arrian, <bibl n="Arr. An. 4.16">Arr. Anab. 4.16</bibl>.) He accompanied <ref target="alexander-the-great-bio-1">Alexander</ref> in his Indian expedition, and, together
      with Attalus and Meleager, commanded the mercenaries at the passage of the Hydaspes against
      Porus in <date when-custom="-326">B. C. 326</date>. (Arrian, <bibl n="Arr. An. 5.12">Arr. Anab.

      Gorgias whose name occurs in Justin (<bibl n="Just. 12.12">12.12</bibl>) among the veterans
      whom <ref target="alexander-the-great-bio-1">Alexander</ref> sent home under Craterus in <date when-custom="-324">B. C. 324</date>; and, in that case, he must be distinguished from the Gorgias
      who is mentioned by Plutarch (<bibl n="Plut. Eum. 7">Plut. Eum. 7</bibl>) as one of the
      officers of Eumenes in his battle against Craterus and Neoptolemus in Cappadocia, in <date when-custom="-321">B. C. 321</date>. </p><byline>[<ref target="author.E.E">E.E</ref>]</byline></div></div></body></text></TEI>
