How did the ancient Greeks study stars?
The ancient Greeks developed instruments such as the armillary sphere to track the movement of objects in the plane of the celestial equator against the annual motion of the Sun. This basic device consisted of a set of graduated rings that represented important circles on the celestial sphere, such as the horizon, the celestial equator, the ecliptic, and the meridian. These rings formed a skeletal celestial sphere. A movable sighting arrangement allowed early astronomers to observe a celestial object and then read off its position using the markings on the relevant circles.
Ptolemy and other Greek astronomers used the quadrant, a graduated quarter of a circle constructed to allow an observer to measure the altitude of celestial objects above the horizon. An astronomer would sight a target celestial object along one arm of the quadrant and then read off its elevation from a scale (from 0 to 90 degrees) with the help of a plumb line suspended from the center of the quarter circle. With this arrangement a celestial object just on the horizon would have an elevation of 0 degrees, while an object at zenith would have an elevation of 90 degrees.

Another possibility:
There are revisionist questions about Alexander's activity in India which are hard to dismiss out of hand. His deference to King Poros and restoration of his kingdom after allegedly defeating him, and then donating Alexander's own ally King Taxila's kingdom to him; the apparent subserveince in then fighting Poros' enemies for him; and then withdrawal out of India, raises the question of whether the Hydaspes battle was in fact a defeat of Alexander, or at best a stand-off, which Alexander had to make reparations for. It smacks of a cover-up rewrite of events in the official Macedonian account glorifying Alexander. We don't have hard evidence and this will remain an unanswered question unless we oncover some hard evidence, but the questions also remain.
