Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alexander used religion in two ways to inspire loyalty among his followers and the people he conquered. First, he honored the Egyptian and Persian gods. He treated them as equal to Greek gods. ... When he arrived, a priest welcomed him as “God's son.” The priest's words helped Alexander gain the loyalty of the Egyptians.
