The Macedonian King who conquered the Persians after three major battles was Alexander the great. Alexander was the son of King Philip II who united Greece under Macedonian hegemony and was planning on invading the Persian Empire (in order to free the Greeks of Asia minor who were being harassed and persecuted by the Persians) but was assassinated before he could invade, passing the responsibility on to his young son, Alexander.
