11. How did Alexander create his own myth?


Alexander created his own myth. He would tell his historian to record things out of proportion. His hired a scholar would write things down that were not true. He made things sound better than they ere they made him look like an unstoppable force. Alexander also conquered the ancient city of Troy.  He also did some religous visits to create his myth too. For  example he went to the temples of Greek gods asking for their help of the battlefield. Alexander also made allies with Egypt and created Alexandria which would become the center of learning as well as trade.
