Alexander The Great had an approach to ruling the world that is very unique when compared to others of his era.  His approach was so different because he wanted to mix cultures and beliefs, and others wanted to just conquer and convert people into their own beliefs.  This also helped him to conquer opposing kingdoms or take newly discovered areas, because he could gain the trust of the kingdom that he was trying to conquer.  He may have developed this idea of the combination of kingdoms when he found that people would sometimes destroy other kingdoms from the inside.  By this I mean they could get on their good side, and take it when they have their most trust.  I would say that he didn’t accomplish his goal, which would lead into the only reason why not: his successor.

Alexander could have better prepared for his successor by holding some sort of competition.  Anything that involved narrowing down his options would work to his advantage.  This way, when he passed away his closest friend or the best person he knew could step in and say I will carry on his goal and conquer new lands on his behalf.  One reason he failed to find a qualified and determined successor could be that he was blinded and caught up by his goal.  He was caught up in the sense that he was not thinking about anything, just doing things, which leads to his blindness.  He was so caught up he was blinded from anything else of any importance, and never bothered.

The importance of establishing a library like that of the Greeks from 300 B.C. is that you would be preserving the history, and also carrying on a great idea from the Greeks.  You can also benefit the Greeks because they have their old library back, and can continue to use it as they did, keeping history.  We are also creating libraries, although not in the traditional sense.  We have gone on to use the word “Library” for a place to store something.  For instance, your iTunes says “Music Library.”  We are creating more and more digital/modern libraries, and they still carry information.
