Alexander the Great: Conqueror of the World March 9, 2013

The son of King Philip II of Macedon, Alexander the Great inherited the throne in 336 BC at the age of 20. Two years later he began a series of campaigns which broke the power of the Persians, creating an empire which stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River. Alexander died in Babylon in 323 BC and his empire would subsequently be torn apart by his generals and heirs. Alexanders great legacy was the cultural diffusion which his conquests engendered, spreading Hellenistic civilisation throughout the Middle East. Details of this event may be subject to change.
