According to the historical record, Alexander the Great of Macedon was not only a great world conqueror, he was the kind of leader to fight in the front lines alongside his troops. At the Battle of Issus circa 333 BCE, Alexander almost lost his life to the Persian satraps and royal guards wielding the Sagaris War Axe.
