The word “Pyrrhic” has come from a Greek king, Pyrrhus (295-272 B.C.) who invaded Italy in the third century B.C. to aid Tarentun against Rome. After a protracted battle, in which he sustained heavy losses, Pyrrhus won a victory over Rome, finally to be defeated at Beneventum in 275. Hence “Pyrrhic victory” has come to be associated with a victory which brings disaster in its wake. 35. The Times of India (New Delhi), April 30, 1987. 36. Ibid., May 5, 1987. 37.
