He had also taught Alexander to appreciate the Greek culture.” The Greek culture was making many advances in fields that would eventually come to change the world for the better. Alexander knew that the Greek culture was greater and decided that it would be best to attempt spread it across the world. In the article “Alexander the Great,” the author writes ,”At the Oracle of Siwa, in the eponymous Egyptian oasis, he (Alexander the Great) was proclaimed a son of the god Zeus-Ammon.”
