Being honest, Hitler admired Napoleon much, much more.
Edit: I know it’s taboo to include Hitler in a non-derogatory meme, but putting Churchill there isn’t historically accurate.

Lol to put Churchill there. Also, didn’t Alexander admire Achilles in the same way?

Alexander had the luxury of being the primary source. Everyone else just had to deal with the overwhelming pressure of his bibliography.

Before Alexander there was Cyrus the Great.
And Cyrus was by far the superior. He built an empire that endured after his death. All Alexander achieved was to destroy one.

I’m gonna say it: I think Alexander is overrated.
He was a good conqueror sure, but it wasn’t exactly advanced tactics it was just good troops in a time where people would just line up armies and have at it. He conquered a lot of land but died shortly after and that was it. I see him the same way I see Genghis Khan, taking over a bunch of land rapidly, then dying shortly after, and it falls apart.

Hitler wanted to be Napoleon, Napoleon wanted to be Charlamagne, Charlamagne wanted to be Caesar, Caesar wanted to be Alexander, Alexander wanted to be Achilles and Achilles wasnt real.

Actually, Alexander’s hero and inspiration was Cyrus the Great. And Cyrus in turn was inspired by many other conquerors before him. We will have to keep going back until we arrive at the first ever conqueror in world history.
