Napoleon – who started off as a would-be historian and only took to being emperor on account of getting derisive comments from an examiner on one of his essays (“a most pronounced dream”) – compared himself to, among others, Jesus, Muhammad, Alexander the Great, and Plato. Наполеон, который начинал как потенциальный историк, а императором решил стать лишь из-за того, что выслушал насмешливые высказывания от экзаменатора по поводу одного из своих сочинений («какие яркие мечтания!»), сравнивал себя, среди прочих, с Иисусом, с пророком Мухаммедом, с Александром Македонским и с Платоном.

When that expression was coined, it was derisive - like, "Oh, who would believe in a Big Bang?" Когда это выражение придумали, оно было ироничным - "мол, кто же поверит в Большой взрыв?"
