Alexander the Great
Alexander the Great was an ancient Macedonian ruler and one of history's most successful military commanders, known for his unprecedented conquests that created one of the largest empires in the ancient world. Born in 356 BC, he was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle and ascended to the throne after the assassination of his father, King Philip II. Alexander's campaigns extended from Greece through Asia Minor, Egypt, Persia, and into India, spreading Hellenistic culture widely. His legacy includes the founding of many cities, most notably Alexandria in Egypt, and his influence on the course of history is profound and enduring.
