Soon, he found a solution to this problem which was to slice the knot in half. Because he solved the knot, legend or no legend, Alexander became Alexander the Great and went on to be king of Asia.

    At only 32 years old, Alexander had created the largest empire the world had seen. He conquered land ranging from Greece to Egypt, and from Egypt to Asia and Persia. At just 20 years old, Alexander received the throne from Philip. Soon after, he began to build his empire. Alexander was very proud of his accomplishments, as one would expect. After defeating his close friend Dareius in battle, Alexander boasted, “What, pray? Dost thou not think that we are already victorious, now that we are relieved from wandering a vast and desolate country in pursuit of a Dareius who avoids battle?” (Plutarch…

    Alexander The Great Legacy

    The Persian empire at its peak has long been seen as one of the largest wholes during the classical era, and few have rivaled its size. The land that Alexander the Great was able to conquer, however, was one of the few that served as an appropriate challenge. Around the time of 338 B.C.E through 323 B.C.E., Alexander's collected mass was a whole. Of a Greek origin, Alexander was taught by Aristotle, the great philosopher, and it can be inferred that he used the strategic methods learned, among other things, to assist him during his expansion. It was short lived, however, when he died of an unknown cause at an early age of thirty-three. Even though his empire crumbled, his legacy lived on. Multiple cities, strongly influenced by Alexander, erected,…

    Alexander the Great

    In James Romm's edit of recollections from authors Arrian, Diodorus, Plutarch, and Quintus Curtuis of Alexander's life, we are presented the good and bad tales and parts of Alexander's life. So, James Romm presents the question: Should Alexander be considered great? Like James Romm suggests, I as a modern reader have formed my own opinions of Alexander and if he should indeed be considered "Great". In my opinion, while Alexander was a man whom had qualities that could consider him great, he continuously harmed or killed those close to him and attempted to base a civilization of hypocritical principles.…

    Alexander The Great, Ashoka, And Wudi: A Comparative Analysis

    In ancient time, in order to expand their empires and accumulate properties, many successful emperors or leaders usually conquered other places through strong military forces. Someone then concludes that “the most successful ancient empires were able to maintain hegemony over conquered peoples with little or no thought to anything besides military power.” However, a successful emperor, such as Alexander the Great, Ashoka, and Han Wudi, did not gain the political control of the conquered regions through military force, but adopted more complicated and efficient methods such as controlling or eliciting peoples’s thoughts through education, making strict laws and assimilation—adapting cultures of conquered areas as well as diffusing its own culture…

    Alexander The Great

    Alexander III of Macedon also known as, Alexander the Great, made a name for himself many years ago, but today his “greatness” is being questioned because of research conducted due to modern technology. To be viewed as great, one would need lots of evidence supporting they are a well-rounded person. I believe that Alexander had rightfully earned this title because through my research I have only found evidence that Alexander was a man of greatness. Although Alexander displayed many characteristics of greatness there are three that have stood out me, his strategy, selflessness, and influence. These reasons show clear support that Alexander was Great and never anything less.…

    Alexander the Great

    Throughout history the actions, beliefs, and achievements of certain individuals have changed global history. One such individual is Alexander of Macedon, better known as Alexander the Great. During the years of Aristotle came the military rule of Philip of Macedonia. Philip was a great conqueror, but not as great or as popular as his son Alexander. The main thrust of Alexander's reign was that it happened so quickly. With lightning fast speed, the greatest mortal hero of Greece conquered the entire known world. Those conquests would restructure the world order and unite East and West as a cohesive whole in a way beyond what anyone had, up to that point, dreamed of. While the immediate effects of Alexander's life may have seemed mind-boggling to those who lived in his time, the long-term changes wrought by this one man who strove to be a god are even more remarkable.…
