Balkaners are you ready to become famous? 🤩

\> they respect history and don't glorify these people. Alexander the Great was a violent alcoholic mama's boy who had major daddy issues.  There is no evidence that he was violent. He drunk in excess, but so virtually all of his entourage. He was not unique in this. Now, considering he grew up with rather demanding tutors makes him not a "mama's" boy. But he had many positive in his character and the world would have been better if he had lived into old age. He lacked the near-racist attitudes of most around him, trying to create a merger of West and East. He forced his generals to marry Persian wives and he employed lots of Persians in his administration. And just before this death, he was trying to put together an army made of Persian youths. As for his campaign against the Persian empire, I need to point out here that this was one that his father began and Macedonian troops were already in Anatolia when he ascended to the throne. And immediately, he faced rebellion in the South and the North and assassination attempts. \>I don't see why we cannot celebrate happy Ancient Greek stories like Philolaus and Diocles of Corinth instead. The main reason here is that Alexander was not a homosexual. He had three wives and a number of mistresses. If he got involved in the typical "eros" that was typical in the soldiery of the classical age, it should be pointed out that this was not homosexuality in modern terms. Homosexuals in ancient Greece were derided and shunned. If you want to find out, just read your basic Aristophanes. Alexander would not have engaged in such behavior because it would have destroyed his influence with the rank and file in the army. And we know that he was adored by the troops. As for his death, he died likely of a medication error or he was poisoned. Many senior Macedonian aristocrats hated him with a passion, Cassander especially.
