The most extraordinary leader of all time. One of the greatest military strategists and tacticians who ever lived. A commander who never lost a battle. Had he not die at the age of 32, he would have rule the whole world and spread the east and west culture altogether. The Byzantine made him a saint and God include him in the Quran.

The greek, (yes, greek, since he spoke it, lived it, and WAS it) whose parents, Philip of Macedon, and mother Olympia of Epirus, gave unto him a kingdom and a springboard from which to conquer and avenge the injustices done against hellas. Became a great hero by uniting the greeks under the banner of macedonia, a land that could best be described before the time of philip as being half greek, half barbarian, yet still possessing the hellenic language as their lingua franca and NOT developing seperate customs from the cultures of southern greece, as some jumped up slav seems to suggest in one of these entries. Contrary to Oliver stones depiction, he was not a hardcore homosexual, copulating with women and in fact fathering many children, including bastards.
Dude: "Hey, I just read about the macedonian Alexander the Great! But I thought you said he was greek! I am now hopelessly confused.
Spiros the Wise: "Not to worry, o illiterate one. I can easily explain this unfortunate distortion of truth by discontented slavs. Macedonia was a nation that was included in the ancient hellenic diaspora, as they spoke greek, took greek customs as ther own, and had greek names."
Dude:" So why do people from the Republic of Skopje act like they are the descendents of Alexander when history, popular opinion, and unfalsified dna evidence clearly support otherwise?"
Spiros the Wise:"Good question. Fortunately, the answer lies in UD, under the word douchebag!

Alexander, in my opinion is a controversial figure. yes he did conquer most of the known world by age 32. but does this fact make him a great leader? or was he a materialist ruler? Due to a childhood that is believed to be 'regressed', Alexander had a deep love for himself. Thus, a simple case of narcissism allowed his mind to be preoccupied with infinite power and glory. Are these the traits of a good leader? His desire for materialism, and his socio-economic place gave him virtually all the power he wanted. He gorged in his narcissism by conquering every land he sought fit. His grandiose sense of self worth made his opinion the only opinion that mattered. anyone who stood in his way would die. Did Alexander benefit and improve his country as a whole? was Alexander after all, so great??
Alexander died at the young age of 32. The gods are said to have a way of punishing such pride.

Probably the greatest military genius to grace the planet. Conquered and enslaved all of Greece but admired their culture. Was first and foremost a Macedonian.
Ohh man, that guys just beat up all of those Greeks!
Yeah, he went Alexander the Great on their asses!

Like "Alexander the Great was a Slav", this is meant to piss off greek people because they think that hes greek, but hes actually macedonian. His parents were literally Macedonian, and although he spoke greek and macdonians did adopt greek traditions, that doesne mean that hes greek.
Rando rice farmer: Hey SOKRATIS, Alexander the Great was Macedonian
Sokratis: NONOOONOONO HE WAS GREKEEKEK YOU STUPIDD MONKEY
