Alexander the Great

ALEXANDER THE GREAT

"The Romans had a reason to visit the tomb of Alexander the Macedonian, who’s middle name was Megas, or Great. If he barely received in his twelve years between his twentieth years and before his death in the 33rd year (335-323) the most of the known world, Rome would hardly have nowhere to expand. "
(Alexandar Ciric, winner and god)

Alexander of Macedonia, called the Great, was the inspiration for many rulers throughout history. Many stories and legends about him are written. He was born on 356th BC. His father was King Philip Macedonian, and his mother was the princess of Epirus Olympics. When he was 19 years old, his father died and he inherited the throne. He was a brilliant military leader and his state was greater than any state which previously existed. Greece and Persia became his countries, but then he and his soldiers visited India. He came back because his soldiers refused to go further; this was because they believed that they arrived in the end of the world. Alexander died young, in his 33rd year, the 323rd BC.

Many think he is called the way he is (Alexander the Great) because he won a lot in battles like the Battle of Issus, Granicus, Hydaspes, and many more. However, his government fell apart when he died. But, he is also great for other things. He helped people and culture of his time become closer and more familiar to each other. He established new towns and changed their form of government and thus helped the country prosper and be enriched. Thanks to Alexander, people from Europe have arrived in areas where they previously haven’t been to, and they got a chance to meet new plants and animal species. In all these ways Alexander's conquests changed the history and influence what was happening later. That is why Alexander is Great, even though his large state quickly disappeared.
