Why do people try to say this as if it diminishes Alexander's achievements? Alexander never denied he had a debt to his father.

Wouldn't he be happy that Alexander was a greater figure than himself? Isn't that what every father wants?
Do you really want it to be the other way, where all your great deeds are undone by a wanton child?

>GO EAST INSTEAD WEST?

Because east was the cradle of civilization and the home to all the great ancient powers, whereas the west was a damp, dirty, cold backwater filled with barbarians. To conquer another civilized people, especially an area home to the oldest known empires, is far more impressive in the eyes of greeks and romans than merely "putting down some barbarians." Greeks and Romans viewed their persian rivals as equals. They hated them, but they respected them as civilized people, unlike the barbarians they slaughtered in europe.

If anything, it's the moderns who are doing this. Alexander was Great by his society's standards. He was great by nearly everyone's standards, and people want to take that away from him, because he doesn't conform to modern day norms?

Sure, it was a fast start but holy shit you cant claim the success wasnt incredible.

Ultimately, it is the modern day people who have a right to decide who they want to consider great, as dead can't really hold their opinions anymore.

>>3040914
Yeah, but who knows, maybe some dirt farmer in Ethiopia could have made 200Billion dollars in a couple decades. See, Alexander isn't so great when you consider that.

If only that theoretical man had been given the chance
