Alexander's greatest moment
Posted: Fri Jun 10, 2022 10:16 pm
Alexander the Great died 2345 years ago.
Someone wondered what was his single greatest moment and answered his victory at Gaugamela. But I don't think so: for me his best moments are all in his last year of life, such as his marriage at Susa together with 90 Companions and 10. 000 soldiers ; the integration of Persians and other people into his army, the great banquet at Opis. What is your choice, instead? Alexander is remembered mostly fo his victories indeed, but he is also the most misunderstood man in world history, because his innovations in institutional organization were too early to be appreciated.
