The Resume

    (July 356 BC-June 11, 323 BC)
    King of Macedonia and Greece (336 BC-323 BC)
    Conquered an area stretching from Egypt to India

Why he might be annoying:

    He rode around the battlefield wearing glistening armor and a feathery hat.
    He named over seventy cities after himself.
    He killed people during his drunken tantrums.
    He kept three wives, two mistresses and a gay lover (lonely the man was not).

Why he might not be annoying:

    No general has ever matched his military exploits.
    He defeated armies which vastly outnumbered his own.
    He ruled the known world at an age (33) most people nowadays are still paying off their student loans.
    He tried to be tolerant of the non-Greek cultures he brutally conquered.
    The Greek philosopher Aristotle was his mentor.
    He died young.
    He was left handed.
