Aftermath of the Siege
The fall of Tyre had far-reaching consequences. It demonstrated Alexander's military prowess and strategic genius, further solidifying his reputation as an unstoppable force. The capture of the city also had a psychological impact, spreading fear and awe among his enemies and bolstering the morale of his own troops.
In the aftermath of the siege, Alexander dealt harshly with the Tyrians as a warning to other cities that might consider resisting his rule. The city's population was largely massacred or sold into slavery, and Tyre itself was repopulated with Macedonian settlers. This ruthless approach was intended to deter future resistance and underscore Alexander's determination to conquer the Persian Empire.

“We rip out so much of ourselves to be cured of things faster than we should that we go bankrupt by the age of thirty and have less to offer each time we start with someone new. But to feel nothing, so as not to feel anything - what a waste!”
