The Great king Poros
The Great king Poros
Poros was an Indian king who ruled during the 6th century BC. He was a native of the eastern region of India and was a ruler of the Paurava dynasty. He had a great influence over the Ganges Valley, the area between the Jumna and Ganges rivers, which today covers parts of north-western India and eastern Pakistan.
Poros negotiated treaties with two of its neighbours, Persia and the Persian ruler of Taxila, Darius. He established good relations with the Persians, granting a westward vassalage to emperor Darius. He also had helped to create an alliance between Persia and the neighbouring powers, a move which kept the Greek armies at bay.
A major military success of Poros the Great was his victory over Alexander . This heroic victory was eventually followed by his conquest of the entire Punjab region. It was during this time that Poros founded the city of Pataliputra, which later became the capital of the powerful Mauryan Empire.
Poros established the great city of Pataliputra for his new kingdom that was located on the banks of the river Ganges. He built a massive wall around the city for protection and filled it with luxurious furniture and other amenities. Within this wall, he created a palace that had nine gates, two of which were known as great gates. Poros also had some of the best artists, sculptors and architects create several monuments and temples in the city in order to make it a great centre of art. He also provided excellent education facilities, marketplaces and a trading hub to ensure the prosperity of Pataliputra. The city also housed an especially strong and impressive military force that eventually helped the Mauryan Empire become one of the most powerful empires in the realm.
