There are several reasons for calling someone in history "The Great." Sometimes, it refers to a powerful leader who was remembered as the most important or most influential of that era -- a good example is Alexander the great, a Greek king who ruled over one of the world's largest empires. And sometimes, it is used as an honorary title to refer to someone who was so superior or skilled that there will not be another like him or her: the famous Opera singer Enrico Caruso was so admired that many people referred to him as "The Great Caruso."
