He wanted to rule a big empire called Persia. He is always listed as one of the greatest military commanders in history, along with Hannibal Barca, Julius Caesar, Genghis Khan, Subutai, Napoleon I of France, and others. By the time of his death he had conquered most of the Middle Eastern world known to Europeans, which included Persia, Egypt, and Asia Minor. He died in Babylon in 323 BC.
