Alexander the Great was antiquity\'s greatest commander
#34
Alexander -- no doubt where he belongs on the list. I would have moved Xenophon up a little higher, mainly because in his retreat from Persia, he was actually asked to take over the formation because of his abilities. I think that speaks highly of him (or the desperation the soldiers felt given their situation). After all, how many commanders in antiquity actually got "nomintated" for their role -- overall, good analysis and I think you did an excellent job at organizing individuals. Doing so, is very tough, I'm sure.

Best wishes!
