Alexander The Great. Sure, his name says “ hey I am a great person.” If I were to say one thing to Alexander it would be “wake up from fantasy dude”. Sure he beat the Persian empire, but what he did to his army and the innocent Tyrians (whew!) makes me want to puke. Here is his reality check list. Let's go over it.
Dumped out water in middle of desert in front of his army dying of thirst.Chopped off the head of one of his own men, for rescuing his royal band.Sent innocent Tyrains into slavery, or if men were old enough to join the army, he had them crucified.
Alexander please check all that apply. If he Were here all of those boxes would be checked.

So, if you have not grasped my concept yet, I think he is a terrible person. Some of the government officials would agree with me. He also did not choose an heir to take over the throne, so his empire collapsed 11 years after his death. Turns out Alexander The Great, was not so “great” after all.
