Who he was

Alexander III of Macedon became king at twenty, after his father Philip II was murdered in 336 BC. Taught as a boy by Aristotle, he crossed into Asia two years later.

He defeated the Persian king Darius III at Issus and Gaugamela, founded Alexandria in Egypt and marched beyond the Indus before his army refused to go on. He died in Babylon in 323 BC, aged 32, ruler of one of the largest empires the world had seen.
