@ Neel Here, I agree about the part when you say Philips (Father of Alexander) deserves credit. on death of his father, he has inherited a strong kingdom and an experienced army. basically all the plan's were their for Alexander, all he needed to do is establish himself and carry-out what you could say is "His father's dream or Vision", which he has done successful than as expected. Hannibal, son of Hamilcar Barca was successful early in his career as shown by the victories in Trebia, Trasimene, and Cannae. He did occupy Italy for 15 years but later was defeated by Scipio Africanus in the Battle of Zama. later in his career he has stuggled to maintain a military in terms of number's and hence failed to have the same dominace like earlier time of his career. he overall has lost a few battle's. however as historian say's Alexander has never lost a battle, known as the undefeated.
