Reading Response to Another Text
Well I read about Pyrrhus on Wikipedia. I don't know much about Epirus or Macedon, so I was trying to expand my knowledge on the subject. I found out he later became king of Macedon, which was pretty cool. He was also the second cousin to Alexander the Great, also pretty cool. I might be wrong, but I'm pretty sure Epirus isn't a successor kingdom, right? Ptolemaic Empire is the best successor kingdom by the way. Anyway, back on topic, did you know he was killed by a flower pot that was thrown at his head? As the story goes, fighting in Argos and in the narrow alley ways some old woman through a pot at his head, and he died. Not a very good way for a Hellenistic general and king to go out.
