“Your majesty, is there anything you want in your final days?” “I want healers to carry me to tell the world that death is inevitable, scatter my treasures to show it remains on earth, and have my hands outside the coffin to symbolize that we leave the world empty handed” “We meant who will be your successor” “The strongest I guess?”
Alexander stops being that impresive when you get that he basically made himself the new Shah. He was great, but because he had an incredible plot armor and inherited the Achaemenids institutions and satrapies after reigning on the one that pursued independence after the collapse of Persia. He was an incredible general and a very interesting human being indeed, but I think that people overstimate him a bit to the point of some people believing he could have conquered India if his soldiers didnt hesitate. He couldnt.
Empires held together really only by one person never last long. Division within the empire will emerge as soon as that unifying figure is gone. Alexander’s is a good example of this. This also happened to the Mongol and Frankish Empires after the deaths of Genghis Khan and Charlemagne.
