Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) was king of Macedonia, a position inherited at the age of 20 from his murdered father. Educated by Aristotle and inspired by Homer's The Illiad, Alexander was driven by the desire to conquer the world and an extreme thirst for knowledge.
A true and courageous leader of men, he inspired those he led and achieved the absolute loyalty and devotion of his men by fighting with them and alongside them. A brilliant strategist, he won many battles, often against seemingly overwhelming odds. His most significant battle was the final defeat of Darius and the half-a-million-strong Persian army by Alexander's army of just 47,000. His drive and persistence saw his empire rapidly expand across the Middle East and into Africa and India.
He founded the city of Alexandria in Egypt that quickly grew into a major regional port and a centre of culture and learning. Alexander died in 323 BC aged just 32.
