He recognised the pantheon of gods of the Greek world - with Zeus as the father god, and other gods and goddesses each with their own specialised functions. He also recognised that the gods of other peoples and cultures were the same as those of the reek pantheon, and gave them due hour.

This was usual. Later when Pompey the Great captured Jerusalem, he immediately went to the temple and sacrificed to Jehovah, recognising that this was the same high god as Jupiter and Zeus.

It is only with the rise of the exclusivist religions of Judaism and its offshoots Christianity and Islam that claims of supremacy have led to religious wars, killings and persecution.

Alexander III of Macedon (356-323 BC) was know as Alexander the Great. He died three centuries before the development of Christianity an had no direct impact on it except to open trade between India and the Middle East which may have allowed Hindu or Buddhist ideas to infiltrate Mediterranean cultures and impact the religious thought in those areas.

Where in India did Alexander the Great turn his back to?

The story is that he was set on conquering India, and his army jacked up on him at the Jhelum River, having been fighting for ten years and wanted to go home. It was just as well as King Chandragupta was in the process of conquering eastern India and had an army which would have crushed Alexander's force if they had collided. We have to wonder if Alexander's army had heard about this and it was this factor as well as homesickness which provoked their mutiny.

Which Roman emperors persecuted Jews?

There were no two Roman emperors that persecuted Jesus. In fact, it would be accurate to say that no Roman emperor ever persecuted Jesus. Although Jesus was executed during the reign of Tiberius, Tiberius himself, more than likely never heard of him. Underlings passed judgement and sentences of non- citizens in the provinces and Jesus was not a Roman citizen.
