Why did Alexander the Great's generals disagree with Alexander taking up the ideas and customs of the people he conquered?
The generals disagreed because they thought that their customs were the only correct and civilised way to live, they saw other cultures as being barbaric, such as the Persians. So when Alexander took up Persian customs - such as the elaborate clothing and obeisance- they saw that as Alexander mocking them. Also, they thought that their goal was to conquer Persia and to make the barbarian cities Macedonian, but he didn't- he became more Persian. Thus he had disagreements with his generals and the worst of which was when he killed Cleitus the black.
