    "good or bad" is relevant to the observer who can be in countless different positions ... personally, i don't think he was great much

    His actual rule we don't have that detail after 4000+years. He's called 'Great' then and now because of his political and military achievements in unifying human civilization and making the 1st empire, greatly advancing civilization.

    Whether he was a wise/ kind/ good/bad leader...we do not know.

    We only know 'he got the job done' and that ended up greatly advancing human civilization.

    Obviously neither. He was a great ruler.

    We have no objective reports on his rule, just what he had his sycophants write.  His enemies were no better than Sargon, and some were clearly worse.
