'And when Alexander saw the breadth of his domain he wept, for there were no more worlds to conquer.' Benefits of a classical education.

What it means
Our interpretation.
A quotation about Alexander's limitless appetite for conquest is followed by the compact aside 'Benefits of a classical education.' The shift draws attention to the speaker's own learning. An image of tears and empire becomes an opportunity for a dry, self-satisfied flourish.
