Summary "Stories of Great Men" by Faye Huntington is a collection of biographical sketches written in the late 19th century. The book highlights the lives of various notable historical figures, exploring their achievements and the impact they had on society. Each chapter is dedicated to a different individual, presenting inspirational accounts of their contributions and challenges. At the start of the book, the author introduces Alexander the Great, noting both his military prowess and his complex character. The narrative details his early life as the son of King Philip of Macedonia, his education under Aristotle, and his swift rise to power following his father's assassination. It describes Alexander's conquests and brutal reputation, touching on significant events such as his victory over Darius III of Persia and his infamous cutting of the Gordian knot. The opening sets the tone for a broader examination of greatness, depicting the duality of Alexander's achievements as a military leader and the moral ambiguities of his reign.
