At the time of the death of Calanus, Alexander, however, did not have any plan to go to Babylon. No one understood the meaning of his words We shall meet in Babylon. It was only after Alexander fell sick and died in Babylon, that the Greeks came to realize what Calanus intended to convey.
Alexander died young, at the age of 33, so a Westward push, if he was planning one, never happened. However, some years after the death of Alexander the Great, his second cousin King Pyrrhus of Epirus, another brilliant general, did invade Italy and clashed with the Romans. His army, which included elephants, did manage some victories against the Romans, but at the cost of many of his finest troops, whereas the Romans were resilient and kept coming back for more rounds.
