Alexander The Great: The Regime Of Egypt

Alexander the Great was the king of Macedonia, conqueror of the Persian Empire, and one of the greatest military geniuses of all times. Even at an early age, Alexander had the promise to become a great leader. Through all his victories and conquests, he has become a great hero and has had a large impact on history. That is why I chose he book Alexander the Great, by J.R. Hamilton for my review. Hamilton does a very good job with the story of Alexander the Great.

After the death of Alexander the Great the empire was divided among four of his generals. Ptolemy took Palestine and Seleucus took Syria. Antiochus the Great took over the Seleucid throne and challenged the Egyptian dominance of Palestine. He was welcomed by the Jewish people because he gave them special favors, but that ended when Antiochus Epiphanes took over the throne in 175 B.C.E. He wanted all of his people to speak the Greek language, worship Greek gods, and follow Greek customs (cite book pg. 336). This outraged the Jewish

There are many grand themes throughout the history of Western Civilization and many “hinges” of history that have influenced its development. One important “hinge” was the life of Alexander the Great. Alexander the Great was actually a conduit and a source of influence on the spread of two other important turning points of Western Civilization: the Torah (religion) and Aristotle (philosophy). These turning points have altered Western Civilization’s direction in the world by changing the very base of human nature, our ideologies. None of these three turning points in history can be separated from each other since they interweave with and adapt to each other.

Through many history books and writings, many historians write about Phillip III, or most commonly known as Alexander the Great. Maybe because of how successful he was or maybe just because of how he had such a major impact in history. They tend to focus on the advantages he created, and the success Alexander the Great had as a leader not just in the military aspect of his reign, but also as a leader in the political side. The history shows the impacts and changes brought from the military, from which Alexander the Great lead, and the spreading of Greek culture he influenced through the areas he conquered. As Alexander the Great dedicated his life to further advancing his power, the world would never be same at the time for surrounding villages and empires that tried to defend their land against Alexander the Great with his army and allies.

Alexander was elected to be Philip II's successor, giving him power to secure troops from mainland Greece to make war against Persia, the most powerful empire at the time. Alexander the Great was a hard-working hero who never gave up and followed in his father's footsteps. "Within three years after the Battle of Issus, Alexander captured and destroyed the Persian capital of Persepolis and claimed the right to rule all of Persia. Yet he showed much respect for the captured Persians," (Event C, 2). Even though Alexander destroyed the Persian capital and ruled over them, he still showed respect for them by allowing them to keep their religious traditions, with customs he even adopted. These actions were part of his goal to have an empire that merged the best aspects of both the western and eastern worlds. “Alexandria flourished in part because of Alexander’s great respect for knowledge and various cultural traditions—not only those he

Alexander the Great of Macedon died in 323 B.C.E., marking the beginnings of a great political transition both in the region of Palestine as well as the Macedonian Empire as a whole. While the nation of Israel experienced foreign dominance during the Persian period (538-322 B.C.E.), Alexander’s death brought a unique struggle for power in the region as his generals (the Diadochi) attempted to maintain control of the fragmented empire. Ptolemy I Soter, a Macedonian general who ruled in Egypt, defeated general Antigonus in 301 B.C.E, and as a result was given control of the region of Palestine at the agreement of the Diadochi. Nevertheless, conflict arose between Ptolemy I Soter and Seleucus I Nicator since the latter, a post-Alexander ruler of Syria, claimed the agreement between the Diadochi and Ptolemy regarding Palestine was void. A series of military conflicts were then waged over control of the Palestine region for the better part of a century, and yet the interior region was largely left unaffected, leaving Jerusalem to thrive both financially and politically under Ptolemaic rule.

Alexander the Great, the king of Macedon, the man who united Greece, conquered the Persian empire, and became one of the greatest military generals to ever live. Should his acts of greatness lead him to be considered a hero? People looked up to him as though he was a hero. Alexander the Great stands as a hero because he served as king and a protector of Macedon for 13 years, he always made sure his kingdom was safe no matter what, and he served as an important hero on the battlefield.

“Yes dear? What do you have to tell me?” Mary worriedly exclaimed. She looked around into the dimly lit lamp light of the living room. Mary sat down in stiffly onto an old armchair. Patrick got up and walked over to the table and drank straight out of the bottle of whiskey, he then sat back down.

Alexander the great was one of the first effective generals ever and has influenced some of the later generals. Alexander also ruled a large amount of Europe known as the Macedonian Empire. An Empire is an extensive area of land that is ruled by only one supreme ruler known as an emperor or empress. Alexander’s Conquest had a large amount of conflict because he knew he would destroy anyone he faced so he did, he would battle the neighboring countries and take them over so he could build one of the biggest empires in the world. Alexander the great affected alexander the european world and society in many ways.

Alexander III of Macedon arrived in Egypt in Autumn 332 B.C.E. After he defeated The emperor Darius for control of Syria. He arrived without incident and was thought to be a liberator to the people of Egypt. The Egyptians had been under Persian rule for two centuries and were glad to purge them from their city.

George Santayana once said, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," applies equally to technology issues such as gene therapy today. Therefore, I would like to begin by remembering our past mistakes in evaluating Jesse Gelsinger who was 17 when a geneticist told him that his OTC deficiency disorder, ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency, which is an inherited disorder that allows ammonia to accumulate in the blood, could be cured with gene therapy. One day during his treatment he started vomiting uncontrollably and he ended up in the hospital on life support. The vector used to help his immunodeficiency order had deleterious side effects and caused him to have jaundice, multiple organ failures, to be brain dead, and
