How "Great" was Alexander?

I find the article on Alexander the great very interesting as it tells this story from a different point of view. As his name says, Alexander is seen as Great for being the leader of the Greek Empire starting from a young age. However, the article contradicts the idea of him begin great by telling about his actions that led to his Empire. Alexander made many unnecessary steps while conquering land which had a great costs. Many of his men died due to his determination, which can be seen as a good thing but he overdid it. During his mission of Agis III, he kept sacrificing so many men. Soon his soldiers were rebelling as they did not agree with his actions. This shows how Alexander was not so great as he only thinks about himself and not others. When he started to adopt cultures from Persia and combine them with Greek, most people were not happy with his action but he still continued. Alexander had good intentions in mind but never executed them well. This article showed me the different side of Alexander that not many people think of and know about. Now my view on Alexander had changed after reading the article.
