We hear a lot about him as a conqueror, but not about him as a ruler. Military conquest in and of itself does not impress me.

I would say that Plato and Aristotle conquered the world in a more profound and long-lasting sense than Alexander did.

@DrWatson Didn’t Alexander sack the libraries in Persia and steal what they wanted and burn the rest of the library down? I think that’s how they got so much credited to the Greeks.
