As you may know Alexander the Great made many accomplishments in his life, as much as how spectacular he was he also did some very dislikable things and thought way too much of himself. He considered himself a GOD, and and he was overconfident in himself. He also did some unusual things when his men were helping and he had no reason to do them. For example the text “The Campaigns of Alexander” by Lucius Flavius Arrianus says that Alexander's army was traveling on a desert and they were dehydrated. Several men went to get water for the men. However when they gave the helmet full of water to Alexander he did something that no one can can fathom he poured all the water on the ground as the whole army was amazed at what their leader had done. This a very questionable move indeed. He also killed men who did retrieved things for him.
According to the chart of Alexander’s legacy his conquest killed around 1000,000 people and his empire barely lasted for long. He was just too big headed to realize what he was doing. The bad part was that he was going to conquer more land if his army did not get tired and sick of his decisions. Also he never was satisfied with how much land he conquered, if he conquered the whole world he would have wanted to conquer the universe.
As I say Alexander’s head was bigger than his empire.
