What amazes me in Alexander most is the high quality & commitment of his commanders during his campaigns. The rebellions were probably mainly due to the combat / campaign fatigue. This is the "thing" that made Alexander "great" in my opinion, the willingness of his staff / men to fight on for so long and under such harsh conditions...
