Alexander the Great

Alexander's great library was located in Alexandria, Egypt. It was unique with the amount of knowledge and the sheer amount of books it contained. In ancient days, scholars from all over the world came to study at the library.

The goal that they had in common was to conquer the Persian empire.

He crossed into the Persian Empire in Asia Minor in 334 BCE, and entered Persia itself in 331 BCE.

Alexander built his empire on the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa.

Alexander the Great was significant because he conquered much of the "eastern known world" of the day and, while his empire didn't survive him, the Hellenistic influences he seeded throughout the region did last and influenced the civilizations of the region.

Not by a very long way. He turned back when he was just into India, and died on the way home. He is supposed to have received envoys from the Far East, but just how Far is uncertain.
Alexander the Great did not conquer China. He only got as far as the Indus River in India

His empire included: Macedonia, Asia Minor (Turkey), Persia, and Egypt. He also conquered the island of Cyprus.

His generals after his death divided the empire up between them.

As Alexander was a world conquer and was never defeated in battle. He spread Hellenstic culture, the Greek culture.

Alexander the Great took up the throne of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia because he was King Philip's II son.

The army King Porus had elephants as part of its centre. It was an army of infantry and cavalry, with the elephants as the equivalent of today's tanks.

The elephants were held by the pikes of the Macedonian phalanx, and separated so that they could not break the whole Macedonian line. Some were turned back on their own troops and broke them up, some passed through the Macedonian line and were dealt with in the rear.

Alexander the Great, the legendary king of Macedonia in the fourth century B.C., died at the age of 33 in 323 B.C. His death is shrouded in mystery. Some believe that he died from disease and others believe poison. Several theories include arsenic poisoning, an ascending spinal infection such as spondylitis or meningitis, malaria, poisoning by Antipater (a Macedonian general), typhoid fever, and West Nile Virus.

Greek city-state security rested with the ordinary citizen turning out under arms to defend the territory. The aristocracy therefore became increasingly constrained to allow them a say in government.

Why was Alexander III of Macedon called 'Great'? The answer seems relatively straightforward: from an early age he was an achiever, he conquered territories on a superhuman scale, he established an empire that until his times was unrivalled, and he died young, at the height of his power. Thus, at the youthful age of 20, in 336, he inherited the powerful Kingdom of Macedon, which by then had unified Greece under Macedonian Hegemony and had already started to make inroads into Asia. In 334 he invaded Persia, and within a decade he had defeated the Persians, subdued Egypt, and pushed on to Iran, Afghanistan and even India. As well as his vast conquests Alexander is credited with the spread of Greek culture. language and civilization in his empire, not to mention being responsible for the physical and cultural formation of the Hellenistic kingdoms -- some would argue that the Hellenistic world was Alexander's legacy. He has also been viewed as a philosophical idealist, striving to create a unity of mankind by his so-called fusion of the races policy, in which he attempted to integrate Persians and Orientals with all things Greek and into his administration and army. Thus, within a dozen years, Alexander's empire stretched from Greece to the west to India in the far east, and he was even worshipped as a god by many of his subjects while still alive. On the basis of his military conquests and unrivalled military genius contemporary historians, and especially those writing in Roman times, deemed him great.

However, does a man deserve to be called 'The Great' who prefers constant warfare over consolidating conquered territories and long-term administration? Or who, through his own recklessness, often endangered his own life and the lives of his men? Or whose violent temper on occasion led him to murder his friends and who towards the end of his life was an alcoholic, paranoid, megalomaniac, who believed in his own divinity? These are questions posed by our standards of today of course, but nevertheless, they are legitimate questions given the influence which Alexander has exerted throughout history -an influence which will no doubt continue.

Alexander died in 323 BCE, and over the course of time, stories and myths of the King and his exploits sprang into being. Alexander himself was not above embellishing his own life and romanticizing his achievements. He very likely told the court historian Callisthenes of Olynthus what to say about his victory over Darius III at the battle of Issus in 333, for example. Contemporary Attic oratory also romanticized his vast achievements, and so within a generation of his death, exaggerated stories of his deeds and adventures were already being told.

Chandragupta Maurya were the ones who captured them.

In the context of Alexander the Great's life, yet also true before and after, some 'original Greek ideas' are the following: First, strong emphasis on the arts as important in public life. Second, cultivation of intellectual research and study, which in modern times may be described as both 'philosophical' and 'scientific.' Finally, willingness to draw from other cultures for thought and practical life even while further advancing one's own cultural achievements and practices.

Alexander thought he was divined because, when he was going to pay respect to the other religions he had concurred the priest called him a god, so and so it was just luck he thought he as a god after that.
