Alexander the Great is the entire ancient Greek civilization, the most glorious peak, and the end without farewell. He is an unprecedented military genius and a philosophical king, and he is the successor of the Apollo spirit and Bacchus spirit who are fond of poetry, music, drama and booze. The short life of twelve years old, dazzling and confusing, has fascinated countless historians and admirers. In addition to talent and destiny, in the era of no maps and telescopes, you can overlook the overall situation, read the battlefield quickly, adjust tactics decisively, move forward bravely, and win by surprise. From his way of going deep and breaking the boat again and again, it can be seen that a normal person cannot fight a lunatic! Perhaps, victory or death is what he wants. He is convinced that he is the son of God, belonging only to Wushang's glory and dream. He was neither obsessed with the luxurious life in Babylon, nor did he intend to return to Macedonia to consolidate political rule. However, at the moment when he had to stop at the Indus River, he saw himself falling from the altar. (Most of the Greek soldiers came out to loot. I didn’t expect their middle-2 kings to come out to explore the edge of the world: the world is so big, I want to go and see it.) Alexander the Great’s inescapable achievement did not lie in how vast he conquered Territory, but also because he changed the world view of Western civilization. People found that: it turns out that all parts of the world are connected and can accept and integrate with each other. The Greeks of the past believed that Greece was the light of the world of democratic civilization, and that outside it was a dark and wild land. On the other hand, Alexander used his expedition to learn and respect all ethnic groups, religions, politics and cultures, subverting the inherent prejudice. Why are many people still unable to do it today, more than 2,000 years later?
PS Christ preached in Greek not Hebrew. I was truly shocked to see the influence of Greek culture on the East in Dunhuang.
