Question

Whats the central idea for "life of Alexander" by plutarch

Answer 1

The central idea for "Life Of Alexander" by Plutarch is:

Since he was more inclined to action and fame than to enjoyment or prosperity, he considered everything that he could earn from his father as a reduction and prevention from his own life in the future; and he'd rather have preferred to excel in the empire of difficulty and battle that would have made him regular.

Answer 2

Plutarch wrote of the Battle of Issus: “Fortune certainly presented Alexander with the ideal terrain for the battle, but it was his own generalship which did most to win the victory.”[22] This may have been a response to the Vulgate claim that Alexander's luck was responsible for his victories.
