week 5 daily 2

I believe strongly that Alexander the great did feel like he was avenging Persian wrongs. I believe this for a couple of reasons. One reason is that Alexander the great was a man that showed great leadership and great appreciation for Greece and the people of Greece. Alexander the great cared too much about the honor of himself his father and his influences the fallen commanders of troy that died in the Trojan war at troy. Alexander the great would not disgrace the honor of all the men that were so important to him before he was in power. Alexander the great was obviously very smart if he conquered the whole Persian Empire so I am sure he thought this through as well. Alexander the great had to of thought about what the Persians had done to his country and his fellow Greek people and been furious and wanted to restore their honor in defeating the enemies who had been there 150 years ago the Persian Empire. So no this was not some propaganda to make his goal of conquest. This was a feat of strength and restoration of honor. Alexander the great restores the honor of Greece and the Greeks and sends a message to everyone else that The Greeks are the strongest power and that nothing will take their honor away from them. In my opinion Alexander the great may have been the most impressive and smartest and honorable war general and tactician of all time. He is truly someone who should be remembered and recognized as a man of Greece.
