Does Alexander the Great deserve the title "Great"?

Question

Why? or Why not?

Answer 1

(Alexander was from real Macedonia in Greece. The Greek Macedonia or Macedon)
Of course he deserves the title Great!
Alexander (Greek “ΑΛΕΞΑΝΔΡΟΣ”(ALEXANDROS) is considered the greatest hero of Greece. He was called great for several reasons.
He was the first who managed to unite all the Greek states and build a gigantic Greek Empire which expanded from Greece to India (really big!!). He was the first person who took the title “Emperor of Greece”.
He made his small Greek kingdom of Macedon the most powerful Greek state.
He never lost a battle and he is considered a military genius.
He defeated every army he met in battle and most of the times against superior enemies!
He spread Greek language and Greek culture through out the world paving the way to Christianity.
He was considered from the people of the Persian Empire as a liberator and not a conqueror.
He fused Greek culture with Asian Elements forming the culture that was called Hellenistic (from “Hellenic” meaning “Greek”).
{Do not confuse the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia or Macedon with the modern state of Makedonija (or FYROM or Slav Macedonia as they are not related at all). The confusion has started a few years ago because that small state started to use the name “Republic of Macedonia” causing a great confusion with real Macedonia in Greece.}

Answer 2

Of course he deserved the name! He concured alot of territory!! Alexander the Great of MACEDONIA!! Lots of greek propaganda that he was greek but it is nothing but lies!! Northern Greece today was part of todays country MACEDONIA it was divided in 1913 and greece took a large part! The part that they have today is where Alexander the great was from but that does not mean that they can claim that he is Greek!! Alexander's days were way before 1913 when MACEDONIA was one empire!!!
