Author Description

The influence of Alexander the Great is extensive and profound. His father first succeeded in uniting the Greek city-states, and Alexander ultimately ended the Persian Empire. More significantly, Alexander's conquests helped to disseminate Hellenism, or Greek culture, throughout his realm. In reality, because of the strong impact Greek culture had on other cultures, Alexander's reign marked the start of a new era known as the Hellenistic Age. Greek ideologies and culture might have remained exclusive to Greece without Alexander's ambition. Alexander the Great is viewed differently by several historians.

Additionally, towards the conclusion of his numerous campaigns, he mindlessly killed thousands of people whose only sin was getting in his way. Alexander the Great: Was he really all that?
