Taught by the most famous philosopher of all time and winning impossible wars plus winning the love of his empire (which many kings have failed to do) counts him in as why we would want to know him. Maybe some people even want to learn from him...

At the risk of sounding way too serious; many believe he is the one spoken of in the Book of Daniel (exerpts below...); if this is correct, who are we to say who is "Great" if the Lord God himself allowed mention of the man...

The "Mighty King"

"And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia; and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them; and when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. Then a mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do according to his will. And when he has arisen, his kingdom shall be broken and divided toward the four winds of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the dominion with which he ruled; for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these." (Daniel 11:2-4 RSV)

"He said, "Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation; for it pertains to the appointed time of the end. As for the ram which you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia. And the he-goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn between his eyes is the first king. As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power." (Daniel 8:15-22 RSV)

It is way too easy to pass this all off lightly in our day and age of excess and luxury; but imagine, if you will, an earlier time when you couldn't call 911 or your Congressman for help...

As the illegitimate son of Zeus, Alexander has a lot of pull, if you know what I mean.
