LOL, Alexander's shoes would be hard ones to fill. Not even Pompey could measure up!
Pompey, metaphorically, that guy was a tick to a dog. Would be nice to have his memoirs of the other side of the civil war though. :')
I watch the DVD of Michael Wood's "Footsteps of Alexander" and am just astounded by one thing in particular -- after a long winter healing from wounds and receiving massive reinforcements from Greece (financed of course by the captured Persian treasury, apparently the largest hoard ever captured by a conquering entity), the new year's campaign consisted of five armies of 50,000 each, crushing everything in their path -- in Central Asia.
