Mass murder and pillage was standard for thousands of years in warfare. It only changed post-WW2.

knew this was about Persepolis.

He killed Aristotle’s nephew and that guys son and him because he was prostrating.. basically bowing down and kissing others on the cheek and basically his army was like this really pissed people off. He was trying to solidify his rule in Persia by adapting customs

They plotted on his life so he killed Aristotle’s nephew and that old generals son and then had an assassin kill the general cause he didn’t wanna deal it himself. He then got drunk and killed the dude who was known as “the black” because of a disagreement but he had saved him too.

Then he burnned Persepolis because of Greek fanboyism And because Ptolemy’s hoe told him to (but she was smashing Alexander that night). Fun fact, Macedonians weren’t really considered Greeks back then but Macedonians stanned the fukk out of them. Phillip ii said “can we be Greeks too” and they said “no nikka” then Phillip said fukk it and took over all of Greece

Also Alexander wanted to build a multicultural utopia, that’s why Alexandria was built

He gave the blueprint for future colonizing and conquering
Changed the game

Augustus Caesar shytted on him though. Said he ain't shyt.

Homie was out there murdering women and children by the thousands all because they committed the great sin of not bowing down to him and his army. I understand the men dying but, they killed women and children too. They didn't put that part in the movie

Had his cac friends raping women and little girls but, it's all good because he spread Greek/Western culture throughout the world and civilized the "barbarians"

Our culture is very violent so we admire conquers.
Also he inspired many kings and would be dictators.

 

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

@Alexander The Great ain't get called in here

 

[Devilinurear]

Everyone was trying to conquer everyone


The Persians were trying to conquer the Greeks and shyt.

He’s respected cause he won and he won most of this battles riding on the front lines of the cavalry.

This is a big part of it as well. When you win you get to write history as you see it.
