The spring of 330 B.C. Alexander left Persepolis, after burning the palace as symbolic revenge for the Persian destruction of the Acropolis in 480. Alexander chased the fleeing Darius, who was eventually killed by his entourage. Alexander honoured the corpse, and then established his succession to Darius as Lord of Asia by securing the north-eastern states. By 326 Alexander was heading for India.
