Alexander the GREAT

I do believe Alexander deserves to be called the Great. He was a man on a mission throughout his life, and he died trying to fulfill it. At an early age, Alexander showed brilliance, when he tamed the horse that was untamable to his village, at the age of ten. His own father told him to find a larger empire, because Macedonia would not be big enough. These words may have been the spark that led the man to lead a full conquest to create the world's largest empire, stretching from Greece to India. Alexander defeated empires with his army, set them down and conquered them. He was able to win battles with fully intoxicated troops. These reasons show that Alexander was truly great.

  1. Good Stuff! I agree with your assessment of his accomplishments. Interesting that the drinking doesn't detract from your view of him. Would you have the same response if a US President behaved the same way? Check plus
