You will never be greater than him

>Spain fell to his [Caesar's] lot as quaestor; when there, as he was going the circuit of the province, by commission from the praetor, for the administration of justice, and had reached Gades, seeing a statue of Alexander the Great in the temple of Hercules, he sighed deeply, as if weary of his sluggish life, for having performed no memorable actions at an age at which Alexander had already conquered the world. He, therefore, immediately sued for his discharge, with the view of embracing the first opportunity, which might present itself in The City, of entering upon a more exalted career.

At least one can git gud.

Was Alexander top or bottom?

>>2017086
A man is only as good as the opportunity that lies before him and his ability to grasp it. In all regards it almost truly does seem as if Alexander was blessed by god, saved many times by fate or luck.
But all that said, I respect him as far as I respect a tactician. I respect him the same way I respect Napoleon or George Washington or Frederick Barbarossa. He was a man that was able to accomplish everything he had the opportunity to, to fully grasp his potential through a combination of luck and ability.
Will any of us be remembered through the annals of history as he was? I doubt it very much, but his greatness was no more than as a brilliant tactician and logician with endless opportunity.

I'm already greater than him

The guy lived war, and fought hand to hand himself. You wouldn't stand a chance.

What about all the cities he founded along side the ones he renamed? He is also responsible for spreading Greek culture creating hellenism.

He was a total failure as an empire builder. His only accomplishments were being a military genius.

>>Couldn't touch India

You know, apart from the parts of India he conquered.

>>Couldn't go to Nubia

Literally who, the region. He planned on conquering Arabia and Carthage next. Nubia wasn't even on his radar.

Someday I'll get some boypussy.

>>2017086
I wonder what would've happened if he lived to be 80 years old

>>2017086
His Empire didn't last for shit. All he did in the long run was cause a bunch of wars to happen.
