This paper focuses on a speech given by Alexander the Great in 326 B.C. The argument that Alexander chose to use was very persuasive to his intended audience. One of the greatest strengths of the argument was that Alexander highlighted the past accomplishments of the men as a means of quelling any concerns that they would fail in their future endeavors. He also uses a very grandiose and broad vision to help inspire the men, talking about taking over all of Asia and then using that example in contrast to simply staying home and protecting the home front. However, the argument also had its weaknesses.
