What were the use of costumes in ancient greek theatre?
The uses were and still are the following:
• Like the set, costume can locate the historical period in which the director has opted to place the play.
• Costumes also stress the geographic locations of the play. Any kind of regional costume, for example, can indicate that a character originates from a location outside the setting of the main action.
• One of the chief functions of the costume is to reflect a character's personality; this can either be reflected in a naturalistic approach to an individual character's taste in dress, or be a more symbolic reflection of character.
• Costumes also give information about the season of the year and the weather conditions in which the play is set, and help indicate the time of day. Such details can be expressed through the designer's choice of weight, decoration and cut of the fabric and the layers of clothing worn by a character.
• Costume should also convey a character's profession or occupation.
• Costume can also emphasize the dramatic polarity or similarities of femininity and masculinity.
• Above and beyond the practical considerations of depicting character and helping create a time and a place, costume also augments pageantry and spectacle.

Did Alexander lose a war if he did what was it?
The events of his supposed defeat of King Porus of Hydaspes at the Battle of the Hydaspes River are strange - it was a close battle, and after Alexander 'won', he inexplicably gave back to Porus his kingdom of Hydaspes, and also donated to Porus his astounded ally King Taxiles' kingdom of Taxila.
He then went on doing conquests for Porus to add to the latter's kingdom.
It sounds more like Hydaspes River was a stalemate at best, if not a defeat for Alexander, given Alexander's obsequious approach to his alleged victim, but of course his tame historians are not going to admit it. It will remain a mystery.
