Samwise,

You've got it right. Alexander was considered "great" not only for his brilliance as a battlefield tactician but perhaps even more so because he was a master statesman who was ahead of his time. That said, I'm sure that he killed his fair share and more of innovent people.

It's only Oliver Stone, though, that tried to turn him into Tom Brady.
