Your guess is as good as mine! I'm sure someone has more knowledge than me of elephantine logistics in the Hellenistic age

Probably got it from North Africa, like the Romans and Carthaginians did.

Yes they came from Alexander’s successors that what’s held hostage phyrros Alexander the Great cousin from his mother side they gave phyrros elephants and he landed in southern Italy and fought against the romans. This was the first elephants were seen in Europe where Alexander’s troops and successors fought against them in India and defeated them . And a big correction Epirus is in north western Greece and not Albania !!!!

as another commenter has already commented, but where did the elephant come from ?? i heard that hannibal was the first to bring modern elephants (african elephants of a now extinct genus) to europe, HOWEVER his time was 117 bc ?? ALEXANDERS SUCCESSORS also used elephants extensively during the wars of the successors so my memory recalls that mayhap some made it to greece. a mystery indeed.

I will give you a list of people I like: Sargon the great of Akkad, Ashurnasirpal of Assyria and Ashurbanipal, Cyrus the Great, Lysimachus, Seleucus, Ptolemy generals of Alexander, Pyrrhus of Epirus, Hannibal, Antiochus the Great, Julius Caesar, Augustus, Trajan, Marcus Aurelius, Aurelian.
