Why is pyrrhus of epirus held in such high regard as an enemy of Rome?
So I will admit compared to people like Hannibal or arminius my knowledge of pyrrhus is more spotty. However when I made a post asking who was your favorite enemy of Rome this man's name came up multiple times.
My question is why is he so renowned? Although my knowledge of him is relatively spotty I know that he won only two victories against the Romans both of which were too costly to him, he invaded rome to help out Greek city-states and as an excuse to make his own empire, that his victories were so costly that it literally coined the term "pyrhic victory". He doesn't really seem to me to have left as much of an impact as Hannibal or arminius.
So what about him was so great? I'm not necessarily saying he's not deserving of it as I said I don't know a whole lot about him it's just what I do know isn't the most flattering. But if you know more then please educate me!
