Comment on How is Alexander the Great so great he gets that name, but not so great that just “Alexander”doesn’t disambiguate him?

No, it’s because he conquered the known world.
He’s asking why is it Alexander the Great but not Caesar the Great. If Alexander was so great, he wouldn’t need “the great” after his name. Alexander itself would be enough.
He’s trolling, yeah. I understood that.
He’s called that because that’s what he’s called.
Why is your username Blue Morpho? because that’s what you chose.
Not 100% trolling, just thinking it was kinda weird that Caesar is not ‘Caesar the Great’, even though his name was reused by Augustus and others.
