List of people known as the Great

January 01, 1970

"The Great" redirects here. For other uses, see The Great (disambiguation).

This is a list of people known as the Great, or the equivalent, in their own language. Other languages have their own suffixes, such as Persian e Bozorg and Urdu e Azam.

In Persia, the title "the Great" at first seems to have been a colloquial version of the Old Persian title "Great King" (King of Kings, Shahanshah). It was first used by Cyrus II of Persia.[1] The title was inherited by Alexander III when he conquered the Persian Empire, and the epithet eventually became personally associated with him. The first reference to this is in a comedy by Plautus,[2] in which it is assumed that everyone knew who "Alexander the Great" was; however, there is no evidence that he was called "the Great" before this. The early Seleucid kings, who succeeded Alexander in Persia, used "Great King" in local documents, but the title was most notably used for Antiochus the Great. Once the term gained currency, it was broadened to include persons in other fields, such as the philosopher Albert the Great.

Later rulers and commanders were given the epithet during their lifetime, for example, the Roman general Pompey. Others received the title posthumously, such as the Indian emperor Ashoka. As there are no objective criteria for "greatness", the persistence of the designation varies greatly. For example, Louis XIV of France was often referred to as "the Great" in his lifetime, but is rarely called such nowadays, later writers preferring his more specific epithet "the Sun King". German Emperor Wilhelm I was often called "the Great" in the time of his grandson Wilhelm II, but rarely before or after.

After the coronation of the child the two Leos would be distinguished as Λέων ὁ Μέγας and Λέων ὁ Μικρός, and this I believe, must be the origin of the designation of Leo as "the Great"; just as reversely Theodosius II. was called "the Small," because in his infancy he had been known as ὁ μικρός βασιλεύς to distinguish him from Arcadius. Leo never did anything which could conceivably earn him the title of Great in the sense in which it was bestowed by posterity on Alexander or Constantine.

The Great redirects here For other uses see The Great disambiguation This is a list of people known as the Great or the equivalent in their own language Other languages have their own suffixes such as Persian e Bozorg and Urdu e Azam In Persia the title the Great at first seems to have been a colloquial version of the Old Persian title Great King King of Kings Shahanshah It was first used by Cyrus II of Persia 1 The title was inherited by Alexander III when he conquered the Persian Empire and the epithet eventually became personally associated with him The first reference to this is in a comedy by Plautus 2 in which it is assumed that everyone knew who Alexander the Great was however there is no evidence that he was called the Great before this The early Seleucid kings who succeeded Alexander in Persia used Great King in local documents but the title was most notably used for Antiochus the Great Once the term gained currency it was broadened to include persons in other fields such as the philosopher Albert the Great Later rulers and commanders were given the epithet during their lifetime for example the Roman general Pompey Others received the title posthumously such as the Indian emperor Ashoka As there are no objective criteria for greatness the persistence of the designation varies greatly For example Louis XIV of France was often referred to as the Great in his lifetime but is rarely called such nowadays later writers preferring his more specific epithet the Sun King German Emperor Wilhelm I was often called the Great in the time of his grandson Wilhelm II
