First of all, he ruled the world! Or at least came the closest to ever ruling the world.. And how exactly did he conquer those 2,000,000 square miles of land?By using great battle skills and strategies! And to use those great battle skills, one has to be very courageous. Alexander was brave and dauntless.1 He also treated his troops equal to himself, as shown in “The Legend of the Helmet”. Alexander and his army were crossing a desert of sand and desperately needed water. However, when he got some water in a helmet (only enough for himself) he poured all the water on to the ground.. This motivativated his troops to keep going.2 On top of all that, he also respected, adopted, and combined other cultures and religions. And most important of all, he spread Greek ideas and cultures to Egypt, the Near East, and beyond..3 Alexander is a great legend!
