Alexander the Great

Born: 356 BC in Greece

Died: 323 BC

Ancient Greek King of Macedonia.  Spent his rule on successful military campaigns in Africa & Asia, conquering kingdoms of Egypt, Persia & India.

Not once in 15 years was he ever defeated in battle; historians agree he’s among most influential military leaders in history & military schools are still teaching his tactics now.

A true warrior, he always bravely fought on front lines of battle.

Aristotle was his tutor, teaching him the works of Homer (The Iliad) which he would later carry into battle.

His death is still a mystery, some say he was the victim of a poisoning.

“I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.”
