  • @Strefanasha In what way did he reduce the world to ashes?

  • Alexander is Greek

    

  • @Strefanasha hitler is every thing you just said. Alex is not one of them

  • @smallpotatoes989 yes: warrior. mass murderer, reducer of the world to ashes, conqueror of a dung heap. that is what warriors are.

    you may call him great. I call him damned. and all of his ilk

  • @Strefanasha o shut up. he was the greatest warior in histry.

  • ignorant arrogant vanity a lust for vain glory and futility.

    this man did gain the whole known world and lost his soul.

    why do we admire such destructiveness?

  • @itachiitachi1946 I think I've showed you really don't know what you're talking about and I'm confindent anyone who reads the comment section here will agree with me. It appears all you've done is watch the hollywood movie and this doc. You say nothing beyond what someone could learn and infer from watching that film.

    Honestly I thought you were posting common knowledge until I actually examined your posts- your posts aren't just meaningless, they're wrong.

  • @itachiitachi1946 Gaugamela occured before he army mutinied. Punishment is one possible explaination; I just offered another. No one doubts his achievements are great. We question the type of person he became.

  • @itachiitachi1946 More gibberish. Indeed your proposal that alexander expanded his territory to protect his empire is one of the worst interpretations of history I have ever encountered. Alexander craved glory- like achilles. And no, he did not have to go through the desert. Everyone told him an army couldn't do it and thousands died. He might have been punishing his army or perhaps in classic alexander style he did it because it was said to be impossible. I question your literacy.

  • @itachiitachi1946 Uh, no. Your facts are wrong again: Alexander took his main army across the hydaspes. Porus responded by sending his son to determine how many greeks crossed. His son was swiftly dispatched and Porus turned his army to face the greeks. Again, all you have to do is read the wikipedia entry to see that you're wrong
