Alexander and Achilles live in different ages....
-Actually they are a bit. Alexander thought of Achilles as a warrior idol. Nothing more nothing less. Achilles is a sort of mythological hero. We can not say for certain that Achilles really was an existing person. He only appears in a few scripts and also in Homer's "Illiad",where he was the main hero of the Trojan war. His exellency in battle and strategy, in addition to his mythological gift of his armor, made him a great hero to the people's minds. Thus Alexander the great used to compare himself to Achilles and often trying to reach his military greatfulness.
