Alexander the Great was as brave as he was capable, and on his return from India in BC 326 he was strongly opposed by the Malloi (Malava) on the Indus. He was the first to scale their fort. The ladder broke, and for a time he was fighting alone, "a magnificent figure," on the wall. He soon leapt down into the citadel, fighting at bay, and was severely wounded.
