God's son

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.

    Far from being as real as TROY, Stone lost his standard, although the final battle in the jungle was heart-wrenching.

    ①The most praiseworthy is of course Vangelis' majestic soundtrack ②The characters are blurry and messy, the plot is vague, and there is no character who can stand up ③The flashback technique leads to a sense of time line disorder ④Alexander's Eastern Expedition strengthens things After all, many countries are unified ⑤ Once a powerful figure dies, the empire immediately falls apart. If there is no perfect system, the transfer of power will always be accompanied by internal strife or war.

Alexander quotes

  • Olympias: Women are the only ones who know Dionysus.

  • Cassander: Would you say the love between Achilles and Patroclus is a corrupting one?

    Aristotle: When men lie together in lust, it is a surrender to the passions and does nothing for the excellence in us. Nor does any other excess, Cassander, jealousy among them.But when men lie together, and knowledge and virtue are passed between them that is pure and excellent. When they compete to bring out the good, the best in each other this is the love between men that can build a city-state and lift us from our frog pond.
