Question: What do you think should have been done after Alexander's death?
When Alexander died, he didn't leave any plans for what to do after he was gone. I think he should have left at least something to help the people know what to do. He didn't leave any heirs to the thrown or a will to instruct his people on who to take over. Alexander only left his wisdom and philosophy for his people to work with. I think this was all part of Alexander's plan. He was so power-hungry that he would hate for anyone to ever get a chance to be as strong of a ruler as he was, so he left nothing behind when he died. If I worked close with Alexander when he got sick, I would have been prepared just in case he did die. This just caused chaos because no one knew what to do. But it showed that no one could ever control the people and the empire like Alexander the Great could.
Did Alexander really leave wisdom for his people? What was that wisdom? Was the wisdom to leave nothing behind?
