"At the end of the sack, with his men exhausted from the killing, Alexander was still filled with rage. He had another 2,000 Tyrians crucified along the beach outside the wretched city. By insisting on fighting alongside his men and exposing himself to unprecedented dangers, Alexander not only risked terrible wounds, but also allowed himself to become caught up in the frenzy of the moment. Furious at the Tyrians for daring to defend their own city, Alexander let his anger cloud his judgment. This was the dark side to Alexander’s heroic style of leadership. If an opponent put up a brave fight and then submitted to Alexander, the king was likely to be chivalrous and pardon his foe. If, on the other hand, the enemy continued to thwart him, especially by provoking a prolonged siege, Alexander was often murderous. Tyre would not be the last of Alexander’s atrocities."
