Context: The Sasanian Empire (or ), also known as Sassanian, Sasanid, Sassanid or Neo-Persian Empire), known to its inhabitants as rnshahr in Middle Persian, was the last imperial dynasty in Persia (Iran) before the rise of Islam, ruled by and named after the Sasanian dynasty from 224 to 651 AD. The Sasanian Empire, which succeeded the Parthian Empire, was recognized as one of the leading world powers alongside its neighboring arch-rival the Roman-Byzantine Empire, for a period of more than 400 years., Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC  10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great ("Aléxandros ho Mégas" ), was a king ("basileus") of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the Argead dynasty. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders., Nearchus (Nearchos; c. 360  300 BC) was one of the officers, a navarch, in the army of Alexander the Great. 
He is known for his celebrated voyage from the Indus river to the Persian Gulf following the Indian campaign of Alexander the Great, in 326324 BC.
An account of his voyage is given in Arrian's "Indica", written in the 2nd century AD., The Wars of the Diadochi or Wars of Alexander's Successors, (Greek:   , "Polemoi ton Diadochon") were a series of conflicts fought between Alexander the Great's generals over the rule of his vast empire, after his death. They occurred between 322 and 275 BC., Barsine ( Greek :  ; c. 363 -- 309 BC ) was daughter of Artabazus , satrap of Hellespontine Phrygia , and wife of Mentor of Rhodes and after his death , Mentor 's brother , Memnon . In 334 BC , the year of Alexander 's invasion of Asia , she and her children were sent by Memnon to the king Darius III as hostages for his fidelity ; and in the ensuing year , when Damascus was betrayed to the Macedonians , she fell into the hands of Alexander , by whom it is argued that she became the mother of Heracles . On Alexander 's death , 323 BC , a claim to the throne on this boy 's behalf was unsuccessfully urged by Nearchus . From a comparison of the accounts of Diodorus and Justin , it appears that he was brought up at Pergamum under his mother 's care , and that she shared his fate when ( 309 BC ) Polyperchon was induced by Cassander to murder him ., Polyperchon (b. unknown  d. after 304, possibly into 3rd century BC), was a Macedonian general who served both Philip II and Alexander the Great and then played an active role in the ensuing battles for control between Alexander's generals (the Wars of the Diadochi)., Satraps (Old Persian: xšarapwn) were the governors of the provinces of the ancient Median and Achaemenid (Persian) Empires and in several of their successors, such as the Sasanian Empire and the Hellenistic empires., Subject: barsine, Relation: partner, Options: (A) alexander the great (B) neo
