Alexander The Great's Background?
ALEXANDER THE GREAT
Alexander II (later known as Alexander the Great) was born in 356 BC in Pella, His father was Philip II of Macedon. His Mother was Olympias, princess of Epirus (an allied state of Macedonia). Philip took many wives, Olympias being his 8th. At this time Macedonia was a Sheep-herding backward state of Greece, Philip changed all this and instead turned Macedonia into a very powerful and influential state of Greece. Much controversy surrounds the death of Philip and Alexander rise to power. However it is known that since an early age, Alexander had a passion to prove himself to others and had long had the opinion that he was the son of Zeus. During the festivities preceding Philip's campaign into Asia in 336BC, Pausnasis a disgruntled General of Philip's, assassinated Philip. It is unknown whether Alexander's mother had anything to do with the assassination, and hence Alexander himself. However despite this many of Philip's Generals Supported Alexander's ascension to the throne. This was due to the fact that he was known to be a very cunning and ruthless leader as well as being able to make very apt decisions very quickly. He also shared all the dangers of war with his men, being at times, among the first to break enemy lines along with his front line. This was a very unusual characteristic. He went on from here into legend, conquering all of the known world, which I'm sure you know about and does not answer your question.
