I agree with Hannibal, and add Horatio Hornblower, Lee,
Alexander the Great and the very popular to pronounce Genghis
Khan.
Hannibal is my favorite for many reasons - Elephants being just one.

Patton was a good commander. Hannibal won several impressive victories but could not win a war, and lost his country by losing only once. He was also a profoundly evil man, but that is another matter. Not entirely unrelated, though. There is a reason Italy never gave in to him, no matter how many armies he defeated.

Hannibal and Lee LOST. Patton however was a winner. You would think that The Greatest Generals would be the ones that won.
