Pursuit of glory and excellence in order to achieve godhood. He essentially argued that he was the best person in the world and its rightful leader, then backed that claim with military dominance.

The idea he would have been able to expand it empire further had he lived is stupid IMO.
He can't just keep conquering, and the cracks were already erupting.
There was this whole conspiracy against, mutiny by his own army in India.
If he had lived, his generals would still have revolted
He was a kid. Why do modern kids participate in street gangs? Because kids are naturally dumb, violent, quick to dehumanize anything that they don't like or understand, have too much energy and too few inhibitions.
least ambitious coonqueror
OH GOD I'M GONNA COOOOOONQUER
>gains 10% of the world's landmass in four battles
I'M COOOONNNQUERING AAAAAH
Because what else was there to do back then?
Fair
Frick his hot wife, he had like 10 wives
>he had like 10 wives
Truly channeling his father (Zeus)
Pussy is temporary, glory is eternal.
Alexander loved his horse more than he loved any of his concubines.
He named his horse after his branding mark.
Which is like calling your pet eagle "Eagly".
Philosophy, mathematics, engineering, lots of other things besides coomnquering.
NEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERD
Psychedelics, alcoholism + a culture absolutely set on excellence and beauty.
Because Allah helps his prophets obviously.
Power
Manlet cope and seethe
It was conquer or be overthrown. The boys his father armed and trained had become men and needed something to do. Why not take them on an adventure?
It’s what Achilles would have wanted

His mother raised him as a son of the god destined for great things. So he ran with that.
It was his destiny.
The Greeks are bellicose
I often think how much more impressive his empire could have been if he lived 30 more years. Rome might have been a footnote in history.

>Conquer “known world”
Except India, Southeast Asia, and China
It's what he's good at
Know your role
So you can remember his name and admire him.
He was bored
So you can make this thread about him 2347 years after his death.
Ambition
Alexander the Gay was lucky he never went as far as China or else his phalanxes would have gotten shot to death by crossbows.
Who keeps killing conquerors before they have a chance to invade China?
Europeans also has crossbows then. Hellenics would have raped Chiner, for fun and profit.
Why did he want to conquer everything?

>Why did he want to conquer everything
He didn't want to conquer anything west of him
