Alexander III of Macedon

Alexander III of Macedon (356–323 BC), known as Alexander the Great, was one of history’s most successful military commanders. He became king of Macedon at the age of 20 and, within just a decade, built one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. Famous for never losing a battle, he spread Greek culture, ideas, and influence across three continents. Alexander is remembered as both a brilliant strategist and a visionary leader whose empire shaped the ancient world.
