Did Alexander hate or love Persia?

I think it probable that he harboured some large hatred against the Persians. It would have been only natural. For generations, the Greek city states had been practically besiged by the Archenimid Persians under Darius, Artaxerxes and Xerxes. Macedonia itself suffered sometimes quite badly under Darius' invasion of Greece. I would think that yes, Alexander probably did have some kind of hatred, like most Greeks, of the Persian race. The Greeks of this time grew up hearing of battles such as Thermopyle, Platea and Marathon.

I think that his admiration for the Persian culture was the reason for his assassination. His generals maybe didn't have the open mind to accept the virtually union between the two nations, a union which Alexander tried to achieve with intermarriages, teaching Persians the greek language etc. But Alexander may have hyperbolized by addopting all the persian ways. But the cultural differences were huge. So we can say he was a little bit utopist but and the first globalist and the affects of his vision can be seen in the hellenistic east mediterranean,where people of all nations using the koine greek language made a admirable culture.
