X is often considered to have been the greatest military tactician and strategist in European history, X is also said to be one of the greatest generals of history, together with Alexander the Great, Julius Caesar, Scipio, and Pyrrhus of Epirus. When X was questioned by Scipio as to who was the greatest general, X is said to have replied either Alexander or Pyrrhus, then himself, or, according to another version of the event, Pyrrhus, Scipio, then himself. Military historian Theodore Ayrault Dodge once famously called X the "father of strategy", because his greatest enemy, Rome, came to adopt elements of his military tactics in its own strategic arsenal. This praise has earned him a strong reputation in the modern world, and he was regarded as a great strategist by men like Napoleon Bonaparte and the Duke of Wellington.
