Do you think that Alexander should have punished the people of Thebes so harshly? Why or why not?
I don't think that the people should have been treated so harshly. There are many other ways to prove to people your power. He could have just punished the people that caused the big rebellion and created a law against it. There was no need to take 6,000 lives because I guarantee that all of those people were not at fault for what happened. If anything, his form of punishment made the people scared of him rather than respect him.
