The perils of becoming a noun
NPR’s Robert Krulwich and Adam Cole have made a very clever argument for and against having your name eponymized. It’s a pretty catchy argument too!
As far as I know, you can only say that someone is “pulling an Alexander” when they’ve invaded and conquered numerous territories to build an empire, only to have their own troops revolt against them. Not a bad legacy!
