Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great (born July 20, 356 BCE – died June 10 or 11, 323 BCE) was a Macedonian king and military commander from ancient Greece. He is renowned for creating one of the largest empires in history by the age of 30, stretching from Greece to Egypt and into northwest India. Tutored by Aristotle, Alexander combined military genius with strategic diplomacy, leading his army through decisive victories such as the Battles of Issus and Gaugamela. His conquests spread Greek culture and influence across three continents, initiating the Hellenistic Era. Though he died young in Babylon, his legacy reshaped world history, laying cultural foundations that persisted for centuries. #AlexanderTheGreat #AncientHistory #MilitaryGenius #HellenisticEra #Mooflife #MomentsOfLife background - Canva Profile picture - wikimedia / Yair Haklai/Creative Commons Attribution-Share Alike 3.0
