Some sample questions from this category:

* Made famous in the epic poem, Homer's "Iliad", his one weakness is now used to describe any small but potentially fatal flaw.
* This military leader spread Greek culture from his native Macedonia to the Indian subcontinent.
* The Spanish referred to him as El Draque. (Contrary to urban legend, this does *not* mean 'The Dragon'). He was instrumental in annihilating the mighty Spanish Armada and was the first Englishman to circumnavigate the globe.
* This failed farmer and businessman found his niche in the military during the American Civil War and quickly rose to the rank of Commander of the Union Armies.
* This Mexican general-turned-dictator cemented his reputation for military ineptitude by squandering his superior forces against a much smaller group of volunteers in an abandoned church near San Antonio in March, 1836.
