What five things did Alexander the great do that were bad?

Answer 1

The term "bad" cannot be applied and is subjective. Alexander the Great conquered the Persian empire and saved fellow Greeks from Persian harassment so for Greeks and many others under the Persian yoke he was seen as a liberator. For others who were killed in battle or who favored being under Persian rule he was the devil.

Answer 2

1. he became obsessed with power and being above the law

2. he became paranoid that some of his men (who were also his some of his closest friends) were trying to kill him so instead he killed them

3. he was very full of himself, became convinced that Zeus was his father, not Philip, and started to believe himself to be divine heritage)

Answer 3

Alexander was raised to hero status and the surviving records gloss over most of his discreditable actions. We do know that he murdered one of his close associates and had another of his generals executed, and that he wantonly destroyed Persepolis.

Then it is a matter of whether you consider waging massive war for a decade with enormous military and civilian casualties is good or bad, necessary or not, heroic or worthy of censure.

Answer 5
