Alexander the Great was in my mind a powerful, and truly great military leader. He had been taught about cultural elements from his professor Aristotle, who his father had hired. Though Alexander got his pining for power and need for it from his mother Olympia. He got courage, strength and skill in battle from his father.
Even though Alexander only ruled for 13 years (until he was 33) he still managed to accomplish a ton in those few years. As a start Alexander began by turning Macedonia into a great military power when it started out to be a large city-state with little power.
At age 20 Alexander started ruling after his fathers murder in 336 B.C. Like I said he had great ditermination for building up his power, he murdered anyone who apposed him at the beginning of his rule including his baby step brother! Nearly all of the lands that Alexander conquered her named Alexandria, talk about being full of yourself.
Like i said before he was taught the importance of culture from a young age, Alexander the Great kept some of the peoples religious routines and language so that the people didn't feel the need to rebel. At one point Alexander the Great dressed in Persian uniforms to create peace.Also the areas that he took over he left a governor to help rule rather than taking complete power of all of them.
Over all I think that Alexander the great a was though slightly greedy about power, he still was a great leader who ran what he had control over well.
