Explanation: Alexander the Great led Macedonia to victory over the Persian Empire, conquering everything in his path, and often renaming city after city after city after himself. However, after some 20 years of campaigning, his troops were ready to go home, and mutinied near modern-day India. Alexander only reluctantly turned back, and soon after died.

Alexander the Great was, also famously, not a cat.
Doubt

Who did the art for this meme?
They should do a series (if they're not already).
Always love reminding Alpha male hyper masculine tough guys that the greatest military leader in history was a flaming homosexual.
There is a lot of debate about it and it's argued that he was at least bisexual, but his greatest love and attention and memory was reserved for his childhood male friend Hephaestion.
