Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great (July 22, 356 BCE – June 10 or 11, 323 BCE), was a king of Macedon who created one of history’s largest empires, stretching from Greece to northwest India. Born in Pella to King Philip II and Queen Olympias, he was tutored by Aristotle, succeeded his father at 20, and died at 32, leaving a legacy of conquest, Hellenistic culture, and enduring mythology.
