Who is a famous person in history who is famous because they tried to emulate other famous people from history?
Mine would be Julius Caesar, or really any great Roman/Greek general post 300BC. All of those guys were basically trying to be Alexander the Great.
Also, the Founding Fathers of America basically just acted on ideas of John Locke

I nominate Bush the 2nd. His former press secretary claims in his tell-all, that Bush took us to war vs Iraq so he could be looked upon as a war-time president. press secretary said, Bush had the impression from his readings in US history that the presidents regarded as best all had been president during war-time.
No idea if the tell-all is the case. we do know that bush was a history buff.
I was going to nominate Patton but not because of Rommel. Patton read about all the wars of history.
