>Main characters have magic plot armor like in the movies

Great was a title used by all Persian kings, even Darius III who got btfo by the same guy who took the title when he became king of Persia.

It's the same idea with Shahanshah and the last Shah. What other kings was he king of? It's just a title.

tl;dr Fuck off John Green

There was only one great, its not a coincidence every one else stealing that title was a loser I could take in a fight with bad government policy

The title of 'the Great' is the Persian equivalent of "His Majesty" or "His Highness" or something to that effect

Alexander basically took it because he was a Persiaboo, and subsequently everyone else took it because they were Alexanderboos

Guess what faggot? If someone gets rekt by a random savage woman who was never heard of, then they weren't a main character.

CYRUS THE MESSIAH

after the 2nd temple, they awaited his return

what about when you're an all conquering badass all your life then die to a high fever like a fucking bitch?

Shit happens man. Doesn't undermine his achievements.

Doesn't invalidate what he did. Not everyone is fortunate enough to assault an army of knights at 70 or fire crossbow bolts from a sickbed despite being violently ill.
