In the history by Plutarch, a young Caesar is said to have wept when reading the annals of Alexander the great. Caesar explains this by saying that Alexander had conquered many nations by the time he was Caesar's age, so that Caesar's own accomplishments paled in comparison.

∙ 7y agoCaesar did not cry. It was said that when he was serving as a quaestor in Spain, Caesar saw a statue of Alexander the great and realised that he was the same age as Alexander who had conquered the known word, while he had achieved little. Caesar was dissatisfied, but he did not cry.
This, if true, happened 255 years after the death of Alexander. Caesar was in Spain in 68 BC. Alexander died in 323 BC . Lies you people tell........

What was the speech of Marcus Brutus?
Julius Caesar Act III Scene 2 Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses, that you may the better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer:- Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak; for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.

Why, 300 years after the Alexander's death, was Julius Caesar in tears?
He wanted to be greater than Alexander, and at the same age that Alexander had been at his peak, Caesar was stuck in a backwater province in Spain. He made a grand recovery though, eventually conquering Western Europe, and was heading east to conquer Alexander's old empire when he was assassinated. And so he became greater than Alexander, modern rulers giving themselves the title Caesar (Kaiser of Germany, Czar of Russia) rather than Alexander, though some of the Czars also were christened Alexander just to have the best of both titles.
