(lezzles I take it they had Generals around the year 480)
I hummed and hah'ed about Xerxes, Dutchy, and finally decided to give him a run because although I am sure he had many sub-commanders the fact that he personally led an army of half a million men, supported by a navy of 1200 ships, would have to qualify him for the title of "General" - the fact that he was a king as well is incidental. And yes, my friend, they had lots of Generals around that time - Alcibiadis was the Greek General at the time if I remember rightly
And the category is "Army Generals from any Country"
lezzles you know your history well, any great army leader of the past would have qualified, Xerxes no exception. A very good choice. Now try to finish this leg with the letter Z to complete the series. When you find him, and here is a tip, there is a well known Russian one, you can nominate the next category.
Don't know where lezzles is...
