Who was the man that eroica dedicated to the memory of a great man?

Beethoven's Symphony No. 3 (which is what I assume you're referring to) was intended to be dedicated to Napoleon Bonaparte (and was originally scheduled to be called "Bonaparte"), but the composer became disgusted when Napoleon declared himself Emperor of the French. (The fact that his patrons wouldn't have been terribly happy about it may have had some impact as well.)Nevertheless, it's clear from Beethoven's letters that he had originally written it in honor of Napoleon, and still regarded it that way at the time of Napoleon's death even though he had retitled it and given it an ambiguous dedication.The fact that it was dedicated to the memory of a great man might refer to Beethoven's attempt to dedicate it to Napoleon, the Hero of the Common People (whom Beethoven admired) as distinct from Napoleon I, Emperor of France (which made Beethoven think that Napoleon was just another tyrant).
