I agree that the Romani created (or there was already) legendary image of Alexandros, but some of the reasonings I don't get them:

- Intoxicated band in Punjab (would the author have preferred an army with waterborne diseases?)
- "The Great" (it had only to do with the persian "king of kings" which became Basileos Megas, Antiochos III assumed that title too, maybe he was even the first to introduce it to the Romani)
- Giving more credibility to the persian sources (obviously everything available is needed to grasp the truth, but by looking at the modern folklore in the area, Alexandros was an horned demon on earth; seems to me it would end as having the diametrical opposite of the "roman" view, but still a biased one)
