All of his soldiers are only numbers to us, but imagine walking out of Greece with Alexander on a campaign, leaving your wife and children, conquering Anatolia, Egypt, Mesopotamia, the entire Persia, parts of India... and finally hearing you're going back home. No army can stop you now. You're going to see your family again.
... and then you die of thirst crossing a fucking desert, because Alexander thought it would be a fun detour.
