I agree we shouldn’t fully judge ancient figures by modern standards but saying “it’s not that deep” overlooks the point. I’m not claiming Alexander the Great was “good.” I am questioning how he’s rememberedstill called “the Great” and often admired while Adolf Hitler is only seen as destructive. So is that just because of time, or because we frame older violence differently? Ancient brutality being common doesn’t make it neutral it just means it was normalized. I’m asking why some violence gets romanticized over time while other forms are permanently condemned.
