Upon the death of his father, King Philip of Macedonia, Alexander the great rose to the throne as Alexander III, king of Macedonia. On his famous march across the world, he raised up a army of about 32,000 soldiers and set of to fulfill his dream of conquering the world. In this magnificent military campaign, Alexander rode at the head of the army, as the king of his army. Although he was the king, the soldiers thought of him as simply a fellow soldier. He wasn't the type of king that sat on a hill ordering his soldiers around in the battlefield before him; instead he was always in the thick of it all, fighting courageously against all odds. For this reason, even though Alexander was king, he was more like a brother to those that served under him.
