What do you think of Alexandre the Great?


One of the greatest men in history, along with Genghis Khan, Kublai Khan, Julius Caesar, Leonidas, Aristotle, Sun Tzu and so on.
To those who claim he was a "hooligan" - no, He restored law and order to lands where people were oppressed by their rulers. He actually enforced the existing laws of those laws and used that against the corrupt local rulers. The local people loved him. Similar with Genghis and Kublai who just wanted respect & taxes to be paid but didn't dictate your life as much as current day western governments do.
Le début de la société occidentale, il a propagé les idées grecques qui ont formé les méthodes et pensés de tous grand hommes qui sont venus après lui. Au même titres que Socrate en philosophie, Alexandre est l'ultime figure du conquérant et de l'empereur.
Seul César et Napoléon lui font compétition.
C'est du similaire, mais du côté orientale et nomadique. Genghis est selon plus brutale qu'Alexandre, il a massacré selon certain 10% de la population totale de la terre. Mais ses méthodes de gouverner ont des similarités avec ceux de l'occident, notament la liberter de religion, tant que les taxes et tariffs sont payés.
Sa soif de connaissances et ses habiletés de prendres les point forts de ses adversaires l'ont rendu presque invincible, ce qui ressemble beaucoup aux méthodes des romains et de César.
Je ne dis pas qu'il est égale, mais du niveau de succès et d'influence, veux, veux pas Ghenghis est son équivoque orientale. Il a apris de ses adversaires, et à conquéris un territoire immense durant une très longue vie. Il a structuré l'orient selon ses voeux. De manières simaires a Alexandre.
La différence étant qu'Alexandre la fait avec une armé minuscule en comparaison et avec des connaissances et technologie moindres, et surtout, sans jamais avoir perdu.
Les comparés est très difficile, car ils sont différent sur presque tous les points. Origines, manières de vivre et leurs vécus. L'un est né fils de Roi alors que l'autre à été laisser seul et à l'esclavagisme très tôt.
Ils sont de grand personnages dans l'histoire et leurs influences sont encore ressentis aujourd'hui.
Mais Alexandre>Genghis.
Clearly he wasn’t that great if is epitaph was only the great. I mean isn’t that one a little over used now a days
On history there was only ever one Alexander the Great.
Alfred the Great, Catherine the Great, Cnut the Great... there's quite a few
@purplepoppy but only one Alexander the Great who all these people you mention try to emulate
he's a troll
what kind of asshole on his death bed would say "only the strongest shall rule" lmao

He could’ve done a better job deciding who he was passing the empire onto. Forcing his generals to destroy each other for power over whatever survived that war actually hurt the longevity of his empire.
Nobody could deny that.
What hurt his empire was the rise of Rome. The Romans beat all the Greek cities in Italy & Western Mediterranean then after defeating the carthaganians started to one by one take on the Alexanderian successor states Macedonia, pontus, seleculus and Egypt. Eventually oddessa in Russia too for a time. The last free Greek state was in central asia and northern India.
@USLegionary Didn’t that survive into the modern era?
Until 10 AD. Greeks invaded 250 BC. The old Greek enemy from Russian steppe region invaded. You can imagine they'd have had contact with China, Egypt and Rome.
@USLegionary must have been thinking of something else. The one I’m thinking of I could have sworn survived into British era in the region. Or maybe I’m just hallucinating because I’m finishing final project for library cataloguing class and it’s almost 2AM where I live.
He’s dead like everyone else and what’s he have to show for it… ? Learned well from Aristotle and great strategic thinker. I like he fought with his men.
In the end I’d put Jesus of Nazareth… Ghandi and a few others as greater than him and wouldn’t even mentio. Him. I don’t like killers but those with a heart ❤️. He killed a lot of people but there’s much I don’t know…
He’s a badass.
He achieved so much at such a young age. The embodiment of ambition and drive. He accomplished what all around him thought would be impossible.
He’s inspirational.
He’s a symbol of ambition, victory, and achievement.
His favorite book was the Iliad, but I actually find his own biography more entertaining than Greek mythology.
Invasion killing raping destruction of ancient knowledge in africa to hide the true history of earth DOES NOT MAKE ONE GREAT. it makes them psycho. There was nothing great about alexander or any other european trouble maker.
Funny how when ita a good thing its only the europeans when its bad its all of humanity. No the europeans taught it to the rest of the world. They led by example and no other people did that. yes they kept it local fighting over food supplies not spreading their rats mice deseases and suffering all over the world which is far worse than any local fighting andnthen there is the constant lying done by europeans to hide true history oh there is a bottomless list of this and its still going on withrepublicans once again trying ro keep bad history about white oeople from being taught in schools. It never ends they even lie about race completely just made up stuff like white is not a tace it is a melanin deficiancy. They flipped the language to mislead people and promote raciam. I could go on but it does do any good.
Huh? Its an opinion site what did you think people do in response questions. Im just answering the question. But i get it as always when you speak truth someone always gets offended i get it. But i didn't say anything wrong.. its all true. Did you think europeans or white people were the best people? Is that why you are offended by sheding loght on the parts about them you dont want to accept or acknowledge? considering all the advantages i think you should be avle to stomach a littke critism reality check. Racism is to humanity what ted bundy was to white women. Racial superiority is a form of extreme narcissism. Its an illness. Made worse by racial lies. Black and white make grey not brown. Humans are not grey. The less brown you are the less melanin you have. Whites are actually pale. My shirt is white. Thats a deficiency. Humans need melanin. Racist psychos changed the wording and it worked..
Great doesn’t necessarily mean good. Lord Voldemort did many terrible horrible no good very bad things, but they were great.
PS I knew not about raping, but I must agree that he really was an old twat.
@JustiReno ok im gonna have to stop engaing woth you stupid people with your altered history. You conviently left of the akkadians whonwere the first empire and white didnthey look like? Oh ok. Inalso would like to move to africa. America sucks. Keep your stuff all made from toxins. You white people cannot coexist with anyone even whites. We were just fine in africa in nature not polluting the planet or bringing horrors tonthe world. Ied like to address more of your stupid reply but for whatever reason the sceen jumps around when i try ro look at it again. But it doesn't matter what is say your purpose is to make white people look good no matter what to justify all white horrors and blame it on everyone else can't except resposibility for your actions. You just want to believe you're number one. Truth is you're the worse thing to happen on this planet the envirnment, hunting animals, multiple genocides and extinctions of entire peoples, i could go on. But you would find a a way to justifyi it or claim everyone was doing while leaving out all the stuffonly or 99% white. Hey i dont hate all white people I've many good whites but your group has a psycopathy problem more than any other group you even lie about the size of continents on the maps to make white counties look superior oh yes you will stop at nothing to decieve the world. So im just gonna stop wasting my energy. The truth is out there. All one has to do is keep questioning the answers they give you. Im done here.
@JustiReno go back to Europe or Asian or wherever you're from. You dont belong here. you're uninvited and unwanted. Youve ruined this perfect beautiful land and poisoned the earth. And African bodies and ancient roack art are documented showing Africans before the indians so when racist say they debunk it , nope. Bodies dont lie. And taking responsiblity for oneself is just another racist claiming racist people aren't doing racist things to the people they hate to hold them sown. Sure. That makes sense especially with all the videos coming put now recording the truth about whats happening to blacksnby this country cops judges lawyers karens youits all coming out now so keep lying but you look stupid to all the millions watching the footage. (Yawn) what a pathetic people.
@Lenell so the thing about African in Americans, I’m not racist at all, but some stuff is counter productive and you should address it as such.
First things first, I don’t care about your IT issues on your phone, please cut to the chase
Second, saying white people ruined the world is ignorant and racist. You complain about racism yet you’re racist against “white” people, hypocritical.
Third, the world is not ruined and people now do have a better standard of living, would you like to go back to the Iron Age or Stone Age? Do you not enjoy running water, electricity, the internet? These things are civilization and civilization has benefited humanity as a whole, all peoples have contributed and benefited from this.
And last, Africa will have its day and blacks in the Americas will be OK. But, it’s going to have to come from within. Haiti 🇭🇹 is a historical first, and one thing we know is tomorrow won’t be the same as today.
@JustiReno i didn't even bother reading it. You racist people dont believe anything that is true. Uou always blame blacks for everything and completely covere ip what really goes on in the hoods. As if a racist country woth ravist laws would never do anything racist to the peoplehate the most. Cia pulling up train cars in the middle of the night full of guns unlocked and leaving them there lots of videos of lots of police gangs in departments racist departments caught on tape being racist whites lying about the size of the continents to make white countries look bigger you people will stopnat nothing to cause problems then play innocentinhonthrough this same shit woth you melenin defiecent not white. Then lots of other ignorant people like the comments just a bunch of bad people united in badness it never ends and arguing with you won't change it there will remain lots of documentation of these things and far moreand you will always ignore it. So what ak i doing here? Killing time at first now wasting. You can't change you are offspring of 50,000 English mentallily ill criminals sent here to kill indians and take their land and thats more than austrailia you're all psychopaths running wild and the world has suffered ever since. What else can i say it dies nothing.
Aléksandros III of Makedon (which is the name I prefer to call the dang Earthling) is bloody evil. He murdered innocents just for goddamn lands and when offered the Gordian knot to untie, he just cut it with his darn sword, and everyone had to bow to their new king of scum, filth, grease, &c. One good thing was that he didn’t live very long (although too long is definitely).
@JustiReno cut the Gordian knot? It’s possible for it to be a mere legend.
One of the best military leaders in human history. Never lost a battle. Great conqueror. But as usual he was inclined to destroy his race by mixing it up with the people he conquered. Whites are the only race in the world that comes with a self destruct button.
He was a great conqueror. It remains to be seen how much more could ge have conquered had he lived another 20 years. Could he have conquered the Western Mediterranean up against the likes of Rome and carthage?
I've heard of Alexander The Great, but I know nothing about Alexandre The Great. Are these the same person, or is Alexandre the gay guy with a skilled tongue?
I'm no expert on him. But based on what I know of him and the Macedonians it makes me wonder how much of his legend is his military genius and how much of it was just the skill and cohesiveness of the Macedonians. I mean the dated Greece something the Persians really couldn't even do with overwhelming numbers. And this was before Alexander every took command.
Alexander and Hannibal Barca are my two favorite military generals of antiquity.
My name is Alexander and an AP European History teacher once told me in high school it means "defender of man" and is one of it not the only name (s) that translates into every language in the world basically. The name says it all, but he was obviously smart, strong-willed and had influence over the masses. Checks out
Not impressed by him. King David is far better and Jesus Christ is the Lord of glory and power.
Alexander conquered half the known world at the time.
David couldn't even keep his own illegitimate son from overthrowing his reign and raping his wives, an David was a multiple murderer too. He had a pattern of murdering people without a fair trial and then marrying their surviving wife/wives... and ever had Uriah killed and he was a perfectly innocent man. I don't know why people hold David in high regards. He's pathetic and had no business being "anointed" in the first place.
@JustiReno Fourteen Wives and Ten Concubines. There's also the possibility that he had a homosexual affair with Jonathan one time too.
@Snsl153 inhate stupid people like you. You jave lots of replies with ignorant answers. Jewish whiteness varies from person to peron. Most jews see themselves as whites but alittle above and rhe wish they were white. But you are all melanin deficent. White is not a race. Your arr pale due to a melanin deficiancy. And jews are not from the missle east. People from the middle east are dark. Jewish history like white history is full of lies. You take them at their word and dont verify answers to be correct answers.
You just think if whites say it its true. But i researched your stories and most are lies. Then atican has the truth in its basement inwould bet on it and many clues are abound. Whites will anything to appear pure and the best people. Not so much tough.
@Snsl153 Middle Easterners are considered to be White, according to the US Census or whatsit.
@Lenell Well, I hate stupid people like you, people who do all they can to provoke outrage, people who think they're on the right side of history, but fail to realise they're just old dinosaurs with primitive, impulsive urges. You probably rely upon "gut feelings" to tell you what's right and what isn't. Am I correct? Of course I am.
He is one of the “great men of history” like Julius Caesar, and Napoleon.
Although not everything about him was good.
You aren't a fan of his sodmy?
He did. There were Greek kingdoms all over the middle east and central asia and India
Apparently he was good at fighting and conquering. That's its, don't really feel much else for the guy.
The greatest conquer ever outside of Jesus the Christ...
Iron Maiden wrote a song about him, so he must be significant in some sense.
Good tactician and soldier, absurdly shit with governance
He is the kind of leader who fights his own wars. That is what makes him great.
I think he was the epitome of a kid born on third base. His father basically handed him the finest military in the Hellenic world. And he was educated by Aristotle? Are you kidding me?
A useless hooligan who wasted his time with molesting others around.
Bit of a megalomaniac, should have stopped his army at Babylon. He may have ruled for longer, I think his own men, generals poisoned him in the end.
He should have recruited a 2nd army and sent his vetreans home laden with gold and Persian bitches to encourage new recruits
I think he married some Persian princesses, and the hellenisation of the middle east was a very significant part of history in that area, but he was training locals in Macedonian tactics. He just seemed to be too impatient. Nobody knows where his sarcophagus is to this day, Julius Caesar wrote about 2000 years ago it was a place of pilgrimage.
Somewhere in Alexandria in egypt. Queen clepatra's descendant Prolemy 1st stole the body from the funeral procession.
Yeah, I don't think any of the Ptolemies have been found either, their is a strong possibility that early Christians or the Muslim Arabs looted all that stuff, and destroyed their remains. Recent digs in the area of what was likely the emperor's palace were like 20 feet down under the ground, and most of the area that probably is the palace is now buried deep under modern high rise buildings.
Amazing conquer and warrior, though I am partial to Julius Caesar.
A lot of Julius Caesar's biggest victories weren't on the battlefield
Sure they were. Look what he did in Gaul. If he didn’t conquer Gaul, he never would have become dictator.
Gaul was a device he used to avoid being assainated or executed by the senate.
That and to gain the loyalty of his legions. He wasn’t going to cross the Rubicon alone. He needed forces loyal to him. He waged a campaign in Gaul that provided his legions richly with plunder.
Alexandre dead in hands of small kings, he is not great Europeans are weak as shit.
Weak troll bait
@SlightlyEccentric he ass raped the all the leaders of Asia minor, Middle East, Egypt, central asia and India. Litteraly because he was LGBTQ.
When you can't accept facts of course it becomes troll.. Dickhead
One of the best anime characters (thanks fate/zero)
But without jokes, just another old ruler.
I think he would be annoyed that you misspelled his name.
he wasn't that good
Alexander the Good
He was great! :D <3
That is the response of a psycho. No sane person would think he was great. A great person brings joy to peoples loves not ending lives and ass raping and burning libraries in africa. I know there are millions maybe billions like you which is terrifying.. there will always be suffering because of your type. So humanity is a lost cause. I only hope these that like what he did get to be the victims of similar horrors.
@Lenell You do know, don't you, that he also brought civilisation to backward parts of the world. And founded cities (like Alexandria in Egypt).
Alexander was great, because he accomplished far more in his short life than whiny, soy-infested pathetic people like you will accomplish in a million lifetimes!
Backwards. Youve decided that those not like you are supposed to be like you. An entire race of narcassist. All ted bundys. Ofcourse that explains why 99 percent of serieal killers look like you. The whole race. Only psychos celebrate horrible people and judge themselves superior to others. And backwards, thats ignorance. A smart sees the shit you criminal offspring of 50,000 psychopaths sent to america from england to kill rape and steal land have to be delt with. you're a race of mental illness. You do terrible things and say it was a good. That makes you the worlds tumours. You are the worlds problems. But im talking to a mentally imapired person. Its like talking to ted bundy. Like him im getting nowhere. Like him you cannot be reached. I would have this same agonybtrying to explain to ted bundy that he's a monster. This is exactly how it would go. He couldnt really see it either. Still i won't stop spreading awareness about the true origin and nature of your psychotic race. The world needs to know and you have the media so we have to go underground to reach the people. I won't keep responding here I've said all inhave to say for future references please refer to earlier post.
Ya know through all this fighting ot one of you melenin deficient evernot even once expressed any remorese or empathy or compassion for all those raped and murder or for all that lnowledge about the truth of white melenin defiecient people that was burned to the ground where all those greeks studied i mean who detroys a library? Yet uou come on here and claim the non whote world was bavkwards meanwhile you're the savage beast destroying knkwledge you refuse to acknowledge all those African kingdoms but thank god for the brite they edjucate their people and theyre are doing documentaries onafrica like AFRICAS LOST KINGDOMS but here your ignorant ass is aiming we were all backwards ueah thelats what a backwards people would say because you're backwards so you see things backwards its no us its you. The rest of us were at home chillin staying local minding our own and here you monsters comebring pestilance famine death destruction its obvious whim was backwards its obvious you're the worlds problem. Keep your tech its all toxic and poison made with poisons toxic metals n NO ONE WANTED YOUR SHIT!!! this planet was beautiful ocenas clean air clean food pure now look what youve done now look whats in our food air wayer enviornment and you call others backwards? Wtf? Naw im wasting my time with your monsters. Ted bundys cannot be reasoned with. Im done.
I don't think Alexandre was even great, If it's Alexander then it's a different story.
He wasn't that great.
No better than Hitler.
@JustiReno The myth that Hitler was part Jewish is just Jews wanting credit for everything.
@U4ea0 no. You are an idiot. Evident by your earlier posts. You just want your group to be seen in the most positive light. Which is dumb. It happened and it happened to native americans armenians austrialian aboriginals guatemalns happening right now and on going in congo. Oh yes the holocaust happened alright. You just are clueless as to who was behind it. The clues are abound. Such as the word holocaust. there's a reason only jews use that word. there's a reason hitler wanted it done and a reason jews wanted it done. In the bible they are called money changers by jesus. But you dont know about this history or much of anything else. Uoure nust a psycho filled woth extremely excessive negative emotion known as hate but not just haye your type is in the mental illness natural resting rageful range which is which ted bundy hunts white women and racist hunt other races. Insanity. Sane people dont lynch burn crosses call police of innocent people commit genocides burn churches bomb cities or obsess over physical differences. Only mentally unstable pople are that way.
It should have been Alexandra the great
History needed more great female leaders
Why?
Okay
I didn't grow up with him🤣🤣🤣
It was a joke enjoy the humor in life is to short
That you misspelled it.
he was anything but great
Don't have an opinion
He is great and brave man
Not a fan
Emperors in general, no pun intended. Desiring to conquer for the sake of conquering.
As a military man I’m anti war. I know all too well the horrors of war. Sometimes war is necessary and a powerful military will do the job as quickly as possible …until the politicians prolong every conflict, exploiting the suffering of so many.
I appreciate his skills, just like Genghis khan and other leaders, I just detest their motive. “Murder and steal. Because I want to”.
He did not steal. He was one of those rare leaders in history who inspired most of the people he was around, regardless of culture. That's why Egypt accepted him as their leader without a fight, based on reputation alone! One of the greatest civilizations in history anointed him leader without question. You think about that... politicians today are not even worthy to kiss his azz.
I don't
I don't think of him
no clue, who dat
