Alexander has been called Great through the ages not just because of his tactical and strategic war achievements but because he was the one who ended a long-lasting war between the Greek Kingdoms and Persians and finally took over all of Persia up to the river Tigris. He truly united the Greek Kingdoms for the first time and created Hellas (Graecia in Latin). Trivial info: Alexander means Strong man in ancient Greek. Gamw tin tourkia sas mesa Corection :) "Master Yoda" | Reviewer: Ato | 7/5/09 Buyuk Iskender its true what u say about the greatnes of the Turk heroes and what they have done, but Aleksandar wasnt fighting for gold and land, he was fighting for power and spreading the moust developed culture in that time "hellenism", for uniting ppl from the world in one entity! so he wasnt killing just anyone! And in that time he was recognized like a liberator ... so actually he was fighting in some sense for freedom! ATATURK was born in Macedonia,the Father of Egypt nation was born in Macedonia, so all of this persons who become GREAT in 1 way r continuing hes goal!! Big regards from Macedonia my friend, long live and prosper :) ps: Btw ur lastname, what does it mean? :) Brilliant song but... | Reviewer: Buyuk Iskender | 6/15/09 I don't get it. I am a turk and In Turks History we have a lot of hero like alexander, they fought against Crusaders, they took a lot of land but i really hadn't been affected.Because they fought for glory, gold, become master of world.And think William Wallace(Scots against Britons for freedom)in my nation Ilteris Kagan (Turks against Chinese for freedom)and the last ATATURK fought against all of world for freedom. for me, if you fight for money or glory you are nothing but if you fight for freedom you are a legend... Greatest King,ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/23/09 This song , while giving out the facts , gives a feel of the greatest ever king.He may have been a macedonian but all over the world, people rever his name to this day.his achievemnt and tragic end make him unforgetable.Great song for the greatest king!!!!! Maiden Passes History | Reviewer: James Marcoh | 1/19/09 We had a final in history on Alexander the great. I've been a Maiden fan for the past few years ever since I saw them live with a friend one time. But Anyway i forgot all about the final and this final is 80% of my grade. And I was totally unprepared. So my friend lent me his Maiden CD with this song on it and I memorized it, hopign i coudl at LEAST get half o the questions right...turns otu i got a perfect Score! And they say metal isnt educational! Great sogn form a great band! Thanks maiden for helping me pass history!

O KAIROS GAR EGGYS ( L ) I still don't get it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/17/08 i still don't understand why Alexander the great is considered so great... sure he was a skilled leader, but he brought war to other nations didn't he? the song is awesome though, iron maiden makes the best songs ALEXANDOS O MEGAS | Reviewer: ALEXANDOS O MEGAS | 3/31/08 Near to the east In a part of ancient Greece In an ancient land called Macedonia Was born a son To Philip of Macedon The legend his name was Alexander Hellenism he spread far and wide The Macedonian learned mind Their culture was a western way of life He paved the way for Christianity FYROM - VARDARSKA IS YOUR NAME THESSALONIKI CITY!
