Alexander the Great WAS NOT Greek.

He was Macedonian.

His Father was Philip of Macedonia.

“The fact that Tyre was an island presented the Greek military commander with a serious headache”

Any editor should have caught that.

Alexander the Great (356-323 BC), the king of Macedonia who conquered the Persian empire and annexed it to Macedonia, is considered one of the greatest military geniuses of all times.
