Back on the warpath with Alexander the Great.

I prefer the videos you were making about Rome and Julius Caesar. Their role in shaping the world from the calendar to the geo politics is fascinating. Will you be making more videos of that period?

I think the thing that makes Alexander so interesting, beyond the fact he won, his immense luck and his fiery personality, was his charisma. In my studies on the man he could give amazing speeches, whether the ones recorded are actually what he said doesn’t matter. The fact is he spoke to his men and convinced them to continue on with this reckless and dangerous campaign.

Alexander: Bold, reckless - but won Crassus: Bold, reckless - and lost History remembers them quite differently. We certainly glorify winners no matter the means.
