Alexander the great did not rule Greece. The Greek (Hellenic) world comprised hundreds of independent city-states, stretching from Sicily in the west to the Turkish coast and Black Sea. The north of mainland Greece wasn't actually inhabited by Greeks. Macedon was inhabited by Slavic Macedonians (related to South Slavs); Iperos by Albanins; and Thrace by Thracians (related to Vlachs, Dacians and Aromanians); Thessaly by Thessalians (related to Turks).

His father Philip II of Macedonia, after he defeated the Theban and Athenian forces, was leader of Thrace and Thessaly as well as his own kingdom of Macedon. Macedonia.


Alexander succeeded to the title of Hegemon (leader) of the eastern Greeks on his father's death and gathered those Greek city-states in the Corinthian Council, the grater Greek military council of the period where important military decisions where decided. Sparta refused ('We were not born to follow but to lead') Alexander's demand to the Greek city-states to join Macedonia in conquest of the Persian Empire. Thus neither Alexander nor his father ruled Greece, but only within the borders of their Kingdom; they led and manipulated.

Direct Answer:

What Alexander ruled as:

a. King of Macedonia 336 to 323 BCE,

b. Hegemon of the Hellenic League 336 to 323 BCE; and

b. the Persian Empire. It took him a decade to conquer 334 to 324 BCE, and he died in 323 after ruling it as his own kingdom for a year.

Until his death. He left no clear successor able to take over from him. The nominal co-kings were his mentally defective brother and unborn son, both subsequently murdered.

The empire was carved up amongst his generals, who fought each other, and ended up as the separate Hellenistic Kingdoms of Macedonia, Syria and Egypt.

13 years to some sources, he took over from his father king Philip when he was 20 and died at the age of 33.

However some argue that it was 14 and he rose to the throne at 19.

The Generally accepted view is 30.

Did Alexander the great liberate Egypt?

Depends what you mean by liberate. He did liberate it from Persian rule and many native Egyptians thought he would be a benevolent ruler so they welcomed him when he arrived. But Egypt was still a conquered nation after Alexander came and it would not regain its independence untill many centuries later.
