Trevor CulleyHOST
Unfortunately, it was 281 BC, and most of their potential allies, the still-forming Diadochoi kingdoms in the east, were in the midst of the final wars of the Diadochoi as Seleucus Nicator prepared for his final confrontation against Lysimachus in Anatolia.
Trevor CulleyHOST
Greece and Macedon were still something of a free-for-all, and Ptolemy I Soter was busy consolidating power in Egypt.
Trevor CulleyHOST
That left King Pyrrhus of Epirus, temporarily repelled from his ambitions of taking over Macedon at this time, who was able to sail across the Adriatic in 280 to join this war against Rome.
John S. WhiteNARRATOR
A circumstance which afterwards afforded an exhibition in the arena of the circus, when the frantic fury of the animal was paralyzed in a manner almost incredible by a light covering being thrown over its head, so that it could be put into chains without the least resistance.
John S. WhiteNARRATOR
This circumstance renders what was done by Lysimachus less wonderful, who strangled a lion with which he had been shut up by command of Alexander.
John S. WhiteNARRATOR
Antony subjected lions to the yoke, and was the first at Rome to harness them to his chariot, and this during the civil war, after the battle on the plains of Pharsalia.

Now, notice that we are still speaking about the Grecian Empire.
