What were Alexander the Great's failures?

Answer 1

One of his greatest failures was that he did take take much notice in the opinions of men. Espically when they stood up against hin near the indus river. As they could not go on, but his arrgogance did not allow him to see why his men wanted to go back to their homes. His own ambition blined him to a state where if he went down in battle he would drag his men along with him, if that was ever to come to pass that is.

He also was reckless when ti came to his health and his heavy drinking, when at wild parties after a victory in battle. He may have died of alchol posinging.

He declared himself divine and a son of a God. This also bought much speculation and critiscm back home in Greece. Which further infurriated a possible revolt in Sparta.

One of his other regrets was the destruction of the ancient city thebes, which seized to exist, due to their continuous roevolts, but this made doubts enter his fellow Greeks mind, on wheather he was the right person to take his fathers throne, due to his reckless act of vengenace.

But according to ptolmey his dear companion who wrote his life history, he said that his achievements outweighed many men, and his failures alone outweighted all the mens sucesses alone. Making him still simply great.
