Whilst I don't know if Alexander had the resources to hire Memnon, or if Memnon would defect - info on that is welcome.

What would have been the effect of Memnon working FOR Alexander rather than against?

Doesn't matter if he is hired to assist in the Persian campaigns, hired to go west/south/north to deny him as a resource to the Persians,

I doubt much, but being a greek familiar with persia, he could have been a useful advisor/resource/scapegoat. The most obvious (but I think unlikely) result being Memnon of the Diadochi. Though that would be amusing.

Anyone more familiar with this period have any ideas?
