Because they fought as one unassailable unit without thought for personal safety. No thought of failure was invited.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 16713909 Esoterically speaking, Alexander could not be defeated because no human commander he faced held higher moral authority. His mission was divine. During the Siege of Tyre, the oracles had the statue of Apollo (patron saint of Tyre) chained to it's base as they had visions of the God leaving the city and joining Alexander. Tell that to Attila the Hun. The only moral to his story was exploit any weakness. Comparing Attila and Alexander is...well a little silly. Attila was never able to take Constantinople, Rome, or Gaul. He lost major battles and failed several invasions. Alexander never experienced defeat in any form. He is the most successful commander in human history. Yup, Rock Star legends fit for Oliver Stoned. It's nice to die young.
