Alexander the Great, while a general, king and diplomat, made many significant changes to the ancient universe. But he was also an outstanding leader. Alexander extended the advanced technology of Greek culture by invading cities-states, and other cultures. Alexander advanced his army’s intelligence and technology by using engineers, and introducing longspears. Alexander was very tactile and conquered much of the world in a short time. Alexander was not an exceptional man. He was greedy, power-hungry and very well-pampered.
Alexander was very power-hungry. He conquered all of India’s land and was likely to have more if he didn’t continue. Alexander also planned to force his culture on other conquered civilizations, building mock city-states and large libraries filled with his cultures information. Alex would kill anyone who was not aligned with his beliefs or opinions. Ian Worthington writes that Alex gave the execution order for Parmenion and Philotas, two senior generals who had challenged Alexander’s growing love of Oriental Practices. This quote confirms my claim that Alexander was not open to criticism. All of the above traits are indicative of someone who is power hungry. Alexander had an extreme craving for wealth. Alex wanted control of everything. He wanted everyone in the world to know who and what he believed. Alex would abuse his army to the point that he pushed them onwards, conquest after conquer, until his soldiers quit. Alex was left with no choice but to leave. All of Alex’s conquests were then followed by the construction of huge libraries and mock cities, which was called the Hellenistic Era. Alex was also giving his father Philip II everything before his death 336. Alex was in complete control of his city and his army, and he set out to spread his Hellenistic Era throughout the Eastern world. Ian Worthing Writes that Alex gave chase to many people and killed them all. This is a clear indication of Alex’s disregard for who he had kill to get what he wanted.
Alexander was loved. Alexander was loved and cared for by his father, Philip II, who died in 336. Alex was nothing if it wasn’t for his dad. According to Ian Worthington, Alex wouldn’t have the power to start the Hellenistic Era and rise in the ranks of the elite. This statement is accurate. Alex’s aggressive ways are not what people want in a leader. But again, Alex never had to worry about any city that was unstable. Also, if you look at Alex, it is obvious that he cared about his military, not his city-state.
Alexander was power-hungry and greedy. Alex couldn’t deal with opposing views and wanted control over everything. Alex was also greedy and built mock cities and libraries to show off the culture he loved. Alex was loved by his father and given an ready-to-go civilization by him after his passing. Alex was an exemplary leader and king. Many people forget that Alex had some negative qualities. Alex was not a great person.
