Yes Alexander respected the Persians to the point that he was saddened when his enemy the Persian ruler was killed. However if you really read and examine what you have posted it points more to the Persians being in denial of the man who conquered them to the point that they reinvented the man to be half persian.![]()
It goes both ways. Greek mythology claims Persians were born out of a Greek God. The article points to the fact that Iranians do not consider Alexander to be great, in despite of Alexander's fascination and admiration of Persian culture.
