"Alexander the Great may have gone down in history as one the the greatest ancient kings of all time. After all, we now refer to him as the Great. But while his legacy is that of the greatest man to have ever lived and conquered, is he as great as history remembers?…"

That wasn't even worth the time it took to skim-read. |

I'm sure Alexander wasn't half the man Forrest Galloway is. |

He was the definition of Great. No blasphemy please. |

Did it mention the really bad things that he did do? Olympias: "Greedy Alexander, you greedy boy – leave some Baklava for Parmenio and your friend Hephaestion!" |

> Did he know Beethoven? Come to think of it I've not seen either of them on bubble gum cards… |

Bubblegum cards – the true measure of greatness! |

He could not leap tall buildings in a single bound. He never built a playing card tower 6 stories high. No planets were named after him.
In a word – loser.

He really did like Bob Saget in full house? That does it, the guy is totally unmemorable. |

He once got beaten in an eating contest against a pig named Hercules. For real ? I thought he'd win hands down as he was well know to be greedy! |

Sorry I looked. Not up to Armand's usual standard, I must say. |

From the author's bio,and the "comments", I'm guessing the site's target audience is junior high school students? |
| Kenntak | 28 Mar 2017 10:43 a.m. PST |
Really, just reading this line demonstrates the absurdity of the list: "Even though he was handed most of his accomplishments, and he was the worst ruler ever . . ." Unfortunately, the author probably got what he wanted--people to click on the site. Some of the comments below the list are less than nice. :) |

So would this make him "Alexander the mediocre?" Regards
