Why is Alexander the great so great?

In the wake of Oliver Stone's epic movie about the Macedonianconqueror's life we at LiveScience believe a reassessment ofhis triumphs is needed to right the wrongs inflicted… by ColinFarrell's hair, Angelina Jolie's lips and Val Kilmer'sperformance.Alexander III (356-323 B.C.), king of Macedon, parlayedhis father Philip II's unification of Greece into an empire thatexpanded from the northern Greek peninsula to the Nile to theHimalayas, subduing tens of millions of people along the way. LikeNapoleon, Alexander was rather short (Note: Read Freudianinterpretation here). He was blond with a ruddy complexion, andaccording to one source, had one eye as dark as night, the other asblue as sky (Hmm, maybe they should have cast David Bowie.) He wasraised by his mother, Olympias, to believe he was descended fromthe mythical characters Achilles and Herakles. His father, PhilipII (382-336 B.C.), consolidated power in Macedonia, then subduedthe Greek city-states to the south. Although the Macedonians wereGreek, they were considered hicks by the sophisticates of Athensand Thebes. But Alexander was quite enamored with Greek philosophy,science and art. His empire fell apart soon after his death, buthis lasting legacy was that he spread the Greek language andcivilization to all the lands that he conquered. The unifyingnature of this cultural tradition, called Hellenism, was the basisof more permanent institutions, like the Roman Empire andChristianity. Above all things, Alexander was a great militarycommander, leading his troops into every encounter. A bit of anover-achiever, the historian Plutarch wrote that Alexander weptupon learning that the universe was infinite. When asked what waswrong, he replied: "There are so many worlds, and I have not yetconquered even one." -- Micheal Schirber Answer2:Alexander was the son of King Philip II of Macedon, whoimposed his power upon all Greece to the south (except Sparta) andput an end to the city-state system of the Greeks unifying Greeceunder the hegemony of Macedonia. Alexander carried out the ambitionof his father and proceeded to the conquest of the Persian Empireto the east, in Asia. This Alexander the Great was thereforeforetold in the prophecy of Daniel. He gained one victory after theother over the Persian king, Darius III, and in 331 B.C. took fromhim the city of Babylon and defeated him at the Battle ofGaugamela. With that the Persian world power collapsed, andAlexander of Macedon became world ruler, establishing the fifthworld power of Bible history. In 327 B.C. he extended his conquestsinto the western parts of India. His empire was greater than any ofthose that preceded his. From this standpoint this bronze or copperkingdom was one "which shall rule over all the earth." (MORE)
