Alexander the Great ( BC)

Alexander the Great was the king of Macedonia or Ancient Greece. He is consideredbe to one of the greatest military commanders in history. Alexander was born in 356 BC, the son of King Philip II. Philip II had built up a strong and united empire in Ancient Greece, which Alexander inherited. Like most children in Athens, Alexander was tutored as a child and learned mathematics, reading, writing, and how to play the lyre. Also he would have been trained how to fight, ride a horse, and hunt.

When Alexander was thirteen, his father Philip II wanted the best teacher possible for him so he hired the great philosopher Aristotle. At school Alexander met many of his friends and future generals. He also enjoyed reading the stories and poems of Homer. After becoming king and getting all of Greece under his control, Alexander turned east to conquer more of the civilized world. He moved swiftly using his military genius and never lost a single battle. His army conquered many peoples and rapidly expanded the Greek empire. He captured many countries including Turkey, Syria and Egypt and even prepared to conquer India.

However at this point, his soldiers were ready to revolt. They wanted to return home to see their wives and children. Alexander agreed and turned his army back. Unfortunately, he only made it back to Babylon where he became suddenly sick and died. No one is sure what he died from, but many suspect that he was poisoned.
