Another person who used self image to control was Darious. One way
Darious showed he had power was he carried a bow around. The bow was to show the persians that he was a leader and in control. When ever Darious was portrayed in a photo he was draw with a bow in his hand to show his leadership. The next ruler that used art to portray leadership was Alexander the great. Alexander the great was mainly known for his brilliant military strategy and ability to conquer massive amount of land.

    Alexander was great because he conquered a country in the years 333BC, 332BC, 331BC, 331BC, 330BC, 327BC, 324BC and 323BC. This demonstrates that he was great because he used tactics that would defeat enemies. An example of a tactic he used is phalanx. Phalanx means “a body of Macedonian infantry drawn up in close order with shields touching and long spears overlapping”. This was good because he could easily besiege cities which helped him take over the Mediterranean. My own research shows that Alexander the Great took power over the countries Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Israel, Palestine, Egypt, northern Afghanistan and Iraq. This shows how Alexander the Great was so prodigious.…

When he conquered Persia he allowed them to continue to be ran by Persians, when he conquered a new territory he would have his men marry women from the area to spread his influence, and he would rule as if he were a god-king to the conquered peoples religions.

    What is a truly great leader? It is someone with courage, discipline, creativity, remarkable achievement, and integrity. Unfortunately, Alexander the Great does not have any of these valuable traits to be called a “great” leader. Even though Alexander left a mark in history’s book, it was a mark of a brutal tormenter. Alexander the Great was born in 356 B.C.E. in a kingdom on the edge of northern Greece called Macedonia. (B.G.E.) His parents, Phillip and Olympia, constantly adored and spoiled him. They hired a famous Greek philosopher, Aristotle, to teach him academic subjects, politics, sports, and warfare. (B.E.) As he grew older, an inner beast was growing inside of him and at last it exploded when his father died, and Alexander was only then able to take the throne. But who would want an unjust leader, who is an egomaniac, a ruthless narcissist, and whose empire would not last?…
