What is greatness? Is it a quality with which one is born, or must it be earned? Is it merely the possession of great power, as in a great ruler, or is it something more? Is it mastery of your chosen path, or is it nothing to do with knowledge and power?
I think greatness is a quality of all who are truly good, who truly seek to serve and sacrifice themselves for others. Evil can never have greatness; it is a quality belonging only to those who are good and who act upon it. Evil can of course be great - some evils are worse than others, and more powerful than others, but that is largeness, not greatness. To be truly great one must serve.
At lest, that is how I see it.
