Was Alexander the Great a "good leader"? Compare/Contrast with Pericles.
Compared to Pericles, I think Alexander was equal to him for different reasons. I feel as if Pericles was more about the people and the citizens, but he didn't take the time to build up an army to keep out Persia, so he let his people down. On the other hand, Alexander only cared about becoming a legend and showing Persia whose REALLY in charge. I think that a leader needs to be about the people and for the people, not only caring about making history books. I also think a leader needs to know his true strengths and weaknesses in order to keep his civilization a civilization. If Alexander and Pericles could have combined they probably would have been the best leader of all time.
