      Yeah but people usually chalk it up to alcohol poisoning

      It is kind of funny that Alexander the Great is hailed as this ultimate military and political leader when it is very well documented he drank himself stupid at every opportunity

      At the very beginning of Plutarch's biography it talks about how he rarely trained with the troops because the troops started their exercises at dawn and Alexander rarely if ever was up before 2 pm

      He spins this to just make him sound more badass ("And he could STILL have kicked anyone's ass!") but I kind of doubt people actually put that to the test

      Plutarch also talks about how Alexander rarely bathed but that didn't matter because his sweat had a naturally sweet smell like incense that both men and women found intoxicating and led some to theorize he had divine ancestry

      Alexander kind of sounds like a huge trainwreck surrounded by people who had to kiss his ass all the time tbh

          He kept winning, though! Maybe it was just a run of five natural 20s in a row, or maybe the hagiography got weird.

          The incident that led to his death was literally him chugging a whole amphora of wine on a dare ("in honor of a similar feat performed in legend by Hercules")

          No way he wasn’t poisoned. They just wanted to go home.

          Similarly, I really wish I could remember which book blew my mind by pointing out that the epic battles of the European medieval era were essentially just gangs of drunken teens fighting.

          Yeah, Mark Twain in A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court points out that old school "duels of honor" weren't any different than two local drunks squaring up going "I bet I could take you"

          I don't understand the distinction you're trying to make between genius and drunkard.
