Various quotes and information from the sites are given beneath their URL. The author also critically evaluates and analyzes these Internet sites. In addition to learning about Alexander's life, the paper is also a lesson in efficient Internet searching.

From the Paper
"The name Alexander the Great should tell anyone embarking on the study of a historical figure that this was someone who did important things during his time. In the study of historical figures one can choose to focus on a famous person or an infamous person with close to the same results. Lots of information exists about the historical person in question. Internet sources abound with biographical information, accomplishments, problems and other elements of that person's life. Now and again however, a historical person is so colorful that there is information that both exalts that person's life and criticizes it at the same time. This was the case with Alexander the Great. As a boy he was fearless, as a man he was powerful but according to many Internet research sites he also had a side of him that was extremely self centered and vain which prompted the actions he took. "

Abstract
The author wrestles with Alexander the Greats' inclinations towards both good and evil in an attempt to show that he deserved the title: "Great". By comparing and contrasting, she is able to build a case that he was, indeed, as his name implies, 'Great'. With some interesting quotes from people that knew Alexander the Great personally.

From the Paper
"Alexander the Great was a charismatic person who won the heart of the people he ruled throughout his short reign. He led them to victory against their enemies and had a generous nature. There was another side to Alexander though; he could be cruel, irrational and was known for his drunken rages. Despite his faults, Alexander's conquests, achievements and personal traits made him worthy of the title, "the Great." "

Abstract
This paper compares the contributions of founding fathers Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton, contrasting their views on slavery, the centralization of government, and the establishment of a national bank. The paper concludes by selecting Hamilton as the one who had a better vision for America.

From the Paper
"Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamilton provide an excellent example of the benefits and drawbacks of diversity. Complete opposites, they wrangled on issues such as a national bank, slavery and the centralization of government. Jefferson viewed the federal government warily seeing it as the enemy of individual liberty while Hamilton evinced the same lack of trust for the nation's citizenry. (Sarracino) Whereas Jefferson loved the French, Hamilton loved the English. (Hamilton vs Jefferson) Not surprisingly the two vigorous opponents eventually became so embittered toward one..."

Abstract
A discussion of how Plutarch's life of Alexander the Great illustrates Aristotle's analysis of courage, or the reasons for brave action.

From the Paper
"In the 'Nichomachean Ethics' Aristotle discourses on ethics in terms of civic virtue so as to prepare the future rulers of the body politic for their governance roles. It is not easy to distill the work into a single idea but one core assertion is that moral virtue comes about as a result of habit whence also its name ethike is one that is formed by a slight variation from the word ethos habit. The implication is that virtue is a learnable skill and can be internalized ..."

Abstract
The paper explains why made Alexander the Great was one of the finest military commanders in history. The composition and organization of the army are analyzed and his tactics used in his four great battles.

From the Paper
"Alexander the Great ascended to the throne at a time when the Macedonian empire was at a crossroads, yet within ten years of coming to power in 336BC Alexander was within striking distance of the Indus valley after destroying the greatest empire the world had ever seen up to that point. The noted military tactician and historian J.F.C Fuller says of Alexander's succession to the throne, "When Philip was assassinated Alexander was barely twenty years of age and as yet so inexperienced and untried that it seemed to all Greece that the Macedonian empire was about to dissolve." The description of Alexander by Arrian as "always masterly" says a lot of his capability as a general, but Alexander had inherited numerous advantages from Philip II. This essay will seek to demonstrate whether or not Alexander was a tactical genius or not, on and off the battlefield. I will now go on to discuss the advantages that Alexander had inherited from Philip II."

Abstract
This paper discusses how the life of Alexander the Great is one of the most well-documented lives of the time, and within all of that documentation, there is a sense that Alexander was either a tyrant or a saint-like human. It looks at how the mystery of his existence is challenged by the propriety of the ancient writings and the individual author's ideal of the hero, whom the writer wished to portray. It also examines how the value of Michael Wood's documentary film, "In the Footsteps of Alexander the Great," lies in the extensive manner with which Wood discusses the differences between right and wrong in Alexander's time versus our own.

From the Paper
"Reading the Works of Arrian, Curtius, Diodorus, and Plutarch, regardless of the modern language interpretations still leaves the reader with his or her own impressions of right and wrong. It is therefore difficult to address the man Alexander as a whole. The author's all tell the story as historians, yet in a very different tradition of history. The historic fable, the genre of its time does two things, it retells the story as it has been retold before, either through other older epic poetry histories or through legend mixed with the narrators own idea of right and wrong for their time."
