	An ancient assessment of Alexander the Great
		But if you consider the effects of Alexander's instruction, you will see that he educated the Hyrcanians to contract marriages, taught the Arachosians to till the soil [1], and persuaded the Sogdians to support their parents, not to kill them [2], and the Persians to respect their mothers, not to marry them [3].
		Egypt would not have had its Alexandria, nor Mesopotamia its Seleucia, nor Sogdia its Prophthasia, nor India its Bucephalia, nor the Caucasus [4] a Greek city nearby; their foundation extinguished barbarism, and custom changed the worse into better.
		If, therefore, philosophers take the greatest pride in taming and correcting the fierce and untutored elements of men's character, and if Alexander has been shown to have changed the brutish customs of countless nations, then it would be justifiable to regard him as a very great philosopher.
