(please correct me) RAGTIME (1890-1910) The name comes from "ragged time" and it is often shortened as "rag". This musical genre was originated in the United States of America and it became very popular at the end of the XIX century. It derived from the classical European march in matters of structure and harmony. Its melodies are syncopated and downbeated. Among its roots you can find elements from the John P. Sousa's style, European dances and compositions, and African rhythms. It is one of the first actual American musical forms and an decisive influence to the posterior development of jazz music. It also inspired European composers, like Debussy who wrote a piece imitating the style ("Golliwog's Cake Walk"). It fell into forgotness from 1920 to the 70's, when it had an important revival, in part, thank to the movie "The Sting."

(please correct me) DARIUS III, A COWARD? Often, Darius III has been branded of coward and incapable leader, and considered responsable for the Persian Empire fall and an example of its decadence. This is result of his runaways from the battle field in Issos and Gaugamela, that caused the definitive defeat of his armies which was adbocated to surrender when seen themselves abandoned by their king. This unfair image has not in account that the Empira would dissappear without a king, reason why he preffered to escape before he would be captured or dead. Furthermore, the vast Persian resources always guaranteed the resistance against the invasor, while the monarch was alive. The Darius's last intention by abadoning the battle was preserve his Empire from the Alexander's Greed.
