Who is the Greatest Military leader of the Ancient period?

Alexander might have conquered large amounts of Territory but common, who was the original, Cyrus of course. That is where my vote goes

Also a lot of people misunderstand Darius. He did not just become king of the Persian Empire, he had to reclaim almost every satrap which revolted against him with a practically no money and only a modest army, and not even a homebase to begin with. Yet he achieved, he also had many successes against Scythians, the inhabitants of Hindush, and in Europe. Though the Greek wars are often overrepresented as disasters, Darius did win many battles and conquered northern Greece as well as many Greek islands with vital resources.

I voted for Alexander because besides being a great strategos, tactician and leader, he was also a man with a great vision which enabled the spread of hellenism. Why else did the Romans copied the Greek Culture and how else where they also possible to corporate the religion of the rulerscultus (that the leader  or king was divine, absolute and the only God on this earth). Just look at the result of the empires that came after Alexander's Macedonian empire: The Seluecid Empire of Asia and The Ptolmaic Empire of Egypt being the most prominent examples.

Hannibal never had such an impact, though he was a good strategos. For my dear great Djenghiz Khan, one can say that he had a very strong impact on China, but never one like that of Alexander on the other regions. There was never a real wide-range spread of Mongolian culture. They were nomads to begin with and they belong to the medieval time-period. And the poll was about the Ancient time-period!

I voted  Alexander because of the results, conquered more land than anyone else. (we say military leader so we dont have to think about stability and organization, and for a military leader who conquers then alexander is the best)
