Alexander the Great, The world Conquerer
Alexander was born in the year 356 BC As a child of an already great king Phillip II. In his youth he saw how his father reinvent the Greek way of fighting, how his father united Greece under one banner. And he saw how his father began to make plans for a very very bold conquest. Unfortunately, his father would not see his dreams come true because he was assassinated in 336 BC.
And there young Alexander came in the picture. A young but cunning child with a talent for tactics the world had never seen. And after a few wars consolidating his power, he sat out to do what his father couldn’t. conquer the might Persian empire.
And so, in 334BC his master plan began. First, he conquered the Greek cities. When he came to gordian knot. (It was believed the person who could solve the knot would rule the world.) He took out his sword and sliced the gordian knot in half.
He defeated the Persians battle after battle with his genius strategies. He conquered the whole of the Anatolian peninsula, was crowned Pharaoh in Egypt. And was welcomed in Babylon as a liberator. He chased the Persians to where no Greek had gone before. But when his rival Darius III was assassinated, his ambitions didn’t end. He would conquer it all, he would conquer the whole world. It took his army to mutiny to make the mighty alexander give up his ambitions, for now… Because Alexander wasn’t done. Alexander would conquer the world.
But Alexander would have to be content with his empire because the mighty alexander died in Babylon, after never losing a battle. When it was asked of him: to who shall go the empire? He replied: To the strongest.
There was nobody in history like Alexander the Great.
