About Pyrrhus of Eprius
Pyrrhus of Eprius, born in 319 BC, was a prince and later king of Eprius. His early life was marked by turmoil, and upon ascending the throne, he answered a call for help from Taras in Magna Grecia, leading to conflict with Rome. He fought the Romans in the battles of Heraclea and Asculum, famously stating, 'One more victory, and we are undone.' His costly victories led to his downfall, and he died in 272 BC.
