Why didnt mankind heed his words?

So? If fame is all you want start a fucking tik tok and say the N-word

They should have just done the version that everyone knows.

oh i thought he wasnt talking about other conquerors conquering them
i thought he was talking about something more in life, to rise above, eternal fame and glory
he was referring to materialistic life and women when he said "things that destroy men"
after all he was a student of Aristotle, he was a philosopher too in a sense

[...]
>Go back and report at home that your king Alexander, the conqueror of the Persians, Medes, Bactrians, and Sacians; the man who has subjugated the Uxians, Arachotians, and Drangians; who has also acquired the rule of the Parthians, Chorasmians, and Hyrcanians, as far as the Caspian Sea; who has marched over the Caucasus, through the Caspian Gates; who has crossed the rivers Oxus and Tanais, and the Indus besides, which has never been crossed by any one else except Dionysus; who has also crossed the Hydaspes, Acesines, and Hydraotes, and who would have crossed the Hyphasis, if you had not shrunk back with alarm; who has penetrated into the Great Sea by both the mouths of the Indus; who has marched through the desert of Gadrosia, where no one ever before marched with an army; who on his route acquired possession of Carmania and the land of the Oritians, in addition to his other conquests, his fleet having in the meantime already sailed round the coast of the sea which extends from India to Persia - report that when you returned to Susa you deserted him and went away, handing him over to the protection of conquered foreigners.

>Perhaps this report of yours will be both glorious to you in the eyes of men and devout I ween in the eyes of the gods. Depart!

Anthony Hopkins steals the whole movie in the end
its impossible not to feel his emotion, like you were the one who rode with alexander all those decades ago
and his teary eyes as he says MEGAS ALEXANDROS
i always get goosebumps and teary eyes

I genuinely don't understand how he wasn't killed in battle. It seems impossible.

he was the One

At least in Granicus, he was going to be killed from behind by a Persian nobleman named Spithridates, but based Cleitus saved him at the last minute by cutting the Persian's hand.

I know, and I also know that he almost died multiple other times (that arrow to the lung absolutely should have done him in), but he just didn't. That's the part that seems to betray sense. He should have been killed many times over the wounds he received, or the instances where fate intervened to stop that from happening. There is literally no other individual in recorded history with that many battles under his belt, that also so suicidally threw himself into the fighting.

He took some serious wounds and I believe by some theories/accounts his death was an indirect result of festering issues from some of them. I forget the name now but there was one of his later sieges where he decided to climb up the walls first when his men didn't want to attack and he basicly got knocked out and the army was galvanized to rescue him. Man had a fever for a while after that.

which is funny because historically alexander was the one who was being accused by his generals of being "persanified" and taking on iranian court behavior, mistresses, wives, outfits, etc. But I get what the movie is trying to say, the generals following him no longer are "fine" with the simple dream of just following alexander around the world and fighting everything, rather than eventually becoming comfortable administrators.
Anyway, I really recommend reading about the historical era if you guys are interested. Philip rise and the wars of the diadochi are some of the most kino parts of western history that are often forgotten.

its hilarious that even today men do not understand what was Alexander trying to tell us 2300 years ago
