Alexander The Great Legend

Alexander the great was a great war leader who took over lands from Egypt to India, conquering the persian empire by the age of 30. I will show you how alexander the great was great through different bits of evidence. The evidence that I am using is from the legend of the helmet and headband, Alexander’s legacy, and the conquering of tyre.
This evidence is from the legend of the helmet and the legend of the headband.
