Dec 3, 2008 - wait i am half greek so i know greek history and Alexander did not slave his soldiers but he did kill his own father to get into power and at one point in his life he disputed being greek as southern greece called him a barbarian, furthermore he only lost control of his army because he was a drunk and his best friend (also lead general) fell out with him so there was infighting-not all out physical fighting but nonetheless argument. so his empire was stopped in north india and on his death split

Dec 3, 2008 - madness THIS IS SPARTA

Boukephalos1 Says:

Dec 3, 2008 - ah, no. Read a little more. Your facts area little off. Didn't kill his father, Greeks always had infighting but he and his father brought Greece together as one. To Greeks people from another Greek City-State were barbarians. He finally extended his borders to a length the limited amount of his Greek people could go. Remember his army was only 40-45,000 men. Not limitless as persia or others.

Dec 4, 2008 - I agree ck9423, and personally I know Alexander didn't "slave" his soldiers. But I was a midst a comparative argument of Genghis and Alexander which Boukephalos claims Genghis "slaved his soldiers". Hence in relative terms to Genghis (who was always careful about his soldiers), IF Genghis "slaved his soldiers", then Alexander could be claimed to have "slaved more" on relative terms. But of course neither Generals slaved soldiers, so you're right. Boukephalos1 is wrong. Both Generals were Great.

SAITOXIII Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - Are you pulling things out of your "limitless" arsehole? Even YOUR arse cannot be "limitless", how could Persia be "limitless"? That's like saying Persia was immortal and Alexander defeated that. Does that make sense? NO Furthermore, at the time Macedon was not considered "Neighboring Enemies" like the Athenians and Spartans but an outsider. So Alexander WAS considered non-greek barbarian at first. Its a pitty Alexander didn't know how to make his army bigger, he could have done better.

Boukephalos1 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - There are 12 million people in Greece today. Back then my short mongol, there may have been 1-2 million total. persia had at it's disposal maybe 12-15 million with all its territories and used armies of men from them all. They came to conquer with nearly a million and lost. They faced Alexander on three diferent battle fields with over a million warriors and LOST to 45,000 Greeks. No genghis never faced anything like that no one ever did and WON but ALEXANDER THE GREAT.

Boukephalos1 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - > All Greeks viewed Greeks from other City-States as barbarians back then, until the barbarians came into there land. Then they were BROTHERS IN BATTLE. Or don't you know Greek History as well as mongos. The same could be said during WWII.

Dec 4, 2008 - Alexander was Macedonian. As in the Macedonia to the NORTH of Greece. Nobody remembers that anymore. I wonder if they ever will...

wasteofspace1234 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - I think the problem was that his men would have needed alot more motivation to do any more. Plus, they were loyal to ALEXANDER, not to any particular cause other than respect for their General and the rewards that would bring. That's why it all fell appart after he died. Too bad.

wasteofspace1234 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - Darn it, all my comments are going in the wrong order!

wasteofspace1234 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - That is a REALLY different take on history! I heard it differently... worth thinking about, anyways.

Boukephalos1 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - For "Nobody remembers that anymore. I wonder if they ever will..." You sure can do alot of talking about Alexander the Great, after saying that first remark. As for Macedonia being North of Greece, it begins in Thessalonkia and goes up to what is now called FYROM.Current Fyrom people are not Macedonians they are slavs, calling themselves Macedonian, in name only. Slavs didn't come into Northern Greece until the 5-6 B.C.E. bid. But you know that.

Dec 4, 2008 - Compared to your English, my English looks superior and quite frankly more intellectual. Sorry but you failed but feel free to try another day.

wasteofspace1234 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - I am half Macedonian. As in a slavic Macedonian. My people have been kicked about as a bunch of taxpayers who happen to come with the land for the last 2000 years. Now that is plenty of time for the invaders to rewrite history! There is only one kind of Macedonian, the Slavic Macedonians who have existed to the North of Greece for alot longer than just since 6 BC. It just took longer for the Bulgarians and Albanians to catch up. Macedonians had been there since well before Alexander or Philip.

Boukephalos1 Says:

Dec 4, 2008 - Wrong again fryomian. 5-600AD sorry for the typo. Real Macedonians are GREEK ONLY. ONLY GREEKS MY APPLY>you are wastingspaceandtime1234

wasteofspace1234 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - My forefathers were Macedonians, I am Macedonians, my descendants will be Macedonians, and they will NOT be Greeks! Two different cultures. Let Greece take credit for Thermopali, but not for the distinct ethicity and culture of Macedonians. We are two different people. The way you and too many others talk about Macedonians is second only to the Nazis and their ways. Have Greeks ever eaten Zielnic? Have they worne our clothes? Now, have they marched in the armies of Alexander?

tiliman32 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - lol yes the greeks did march under the armies of macedonia when philip united them Macedonians of today and Greeks included are nothing but Slavs and Turks(ottoman empire rule) ancient greeks PRE 1 AD were if anything most similar to the Romans. Sorry but if your greek or macedonian i cant call you a pure greek Boukephalos1 is right

tiliman32 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - Greeks of BC were all mainly part of the Dorian tribe but today the bloodline has changed due to a 1000 years of slavic and turkish interbreeding

Dec 5, 2008 - black persians and democratic freedom loving spartans!!! this is the most rediculous piece of shit ever.

jimmyjamesWang Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - man and woman dont live together like this in Sparta. lol. Spartan society is a like a extreme form of communism. This is flipping bullshit!!

Boukephalos1 Says:

Dec 5, 2008 - I completely understand your desire to be a part of Alexander the Great's lineage, it's obvious through a freak of mass people movement much like turks thinking they were from Ionia,Ionia is now turkish. Ah, NO! You're not now or ever will be genetically the people of Greek Macedonia. They were GREEK. Persians called them Greeks with Sunhats/Kausia, if your enemy calls you Greek, your leader says he is Greek, his father/Philip says he's Greek and his mother is Greek, your are GREEK,not slav.
