I've been meaning to ask about this, but always seem to forget; the week's theme provides a perfect segue:

Not long ago i ran across a term or phrase similar in meaning to "pyrrhic victory", but based upon the name of another ill-fated aggressor. i can't remember if it was simply a word formed in part by the name, or if it was used as a phrase which might have included "victory".

can anyone jog my memory??

TIA
