Hello everyone, I was thinking about writing an article on Alexander the Great. But was confused about what Greatness he has really achieved during his reign. Tbh I have very contradicting views about Alexander, I consider him as a Great conqueror but not a great leader. I know I may be wrong hence I'm here to get your views on him. Also, I was confused that should I write articles completed based on 'textbook history' or based on facts. If you know what I mean. Thank you.
When did Alexander become known as "the Great"? written by u/Trevor_Culley might help your understanding. That thread also has another comment by me which links to an older, short answer.
