And yes Alexander had the idea to unite all the know world at the time BUT how would do it if he did not unite all greeks under him. And again if Macedonians did not seem them selfs as Greeks why the hell did they pick up Greece to unite and not join with the Persians in the first wars and fought against them with all Greeks??? Man this translation hurts Historical Facts to your head with the wrong speed. |
I know perfectly the political system of the time, and if the translation is bad, why don't you translate said page for me?
Why did he have to unite the rest of the world first? You have to start somewhere.
Also he was known as a Phillhellene wasn't he? Which unless i'm translating this wrong is "One who admires the greeks."
Would you call someone who was greek one who admires the greeks? Sometimes this was the case, when one upheld the culture, but Alexander promoted a one world ideal.
