Alexander the Great

he roared

because he was strong and powerful as well as ambitios!!!

the Iliad

Greek culture was spread through conquering of neighboring countries.

The language, law, the Greek city model, architecture, literature, art and theatre..

This happened because of Alexander the great marching with his army all over the east

He also was the first one into battle. He, unlike many other kings fought with his troops and spent most of his rein fighting battles.

Alex means protector: he didn't sit and watch his troops die on the battlefield, he went and fought with them to keep his country safe.

One of the most important Greek Laws of custom was called xenia (xenia) which was the giving of hospitality. Even though Ancient Greece was divided up into many different provinces that had their own laws and customs, xenia was the only one that was accepted by all of them. Xenia dictated that if a stranger came to your door you should feed him, bathe him, clothe him and give him a bed for the night; only then could you ask who he was. He could stay as long as he wanted, and when it was time to leave, the guest and host would exchange gifts and tell each their friends of the persons deeds, either if they had been a good host or if the guest had told them stories of personal adventure.

Hope this helps!

His soldiers simply refused to go any further. Alexander did not turn back to Greece by the way. He went back to Babylon which he wanted to establish as the new capital of his Empire. It was there that he died.

Alexander the Great's main achievements were cultural and especially military. Culturally, he spread the remarkable art, science, and political theory of Greek culture throughout the known world, even into the Indian sub-continent. Militarily, he conquered the civilization of his age both quickly and decisively -- and with a very small force of troops at his command. After his death, his military achievements, in particular, served as a model for military leaders throughout history.

Ти си убава, or in English Ti Si ubava

After the battle of Issus Darius sent envoys to Alexander the Great offering an alliance with himself, and a ransom of 10,000 talents for his family whom Alexander had captured after the battle itself. Alexander categorically rejected this.

Darius sent envoys again before the battle of Gaugmela offering 10,000 talents again, an alliance between the 2 empires, and all territory west of the river Euphrates. Alexander rejected this treaty again stating that 'there is no more room for two emperors than there is for two suns'

No.

Alexander died or was assassinated at the age of 32. His generals divided his empire amongst themselves, and whereas Alexander had wanted to convert his empire to Greek culture, apart from the ruling Macedonian upper class, the various peoples continued on with their own cultures.

There is a lot of speculation that Alexander died of poisoning from his own men, namely those who followed Cassander. Cassander, along with other Macedonians, Greeks resented Alexander for trying to incorporate those he conquered into his army, including marrying them off to "Asian" "Bactrian" or any other non-Greek woman.

Alexander himself married Roxanne, a Bactrian, which angered his close companions and army. However it seems that malaria is more than likely the culprit, after having contracted it while he was in India before heading back to Babylon where he died not long after. All the symptoms described in the history books suggest malaria.

If you can get past the camp and melodrama of the movie Alexander the story line shows that Alexander becomes increasingly "oriental" as in "Asian" (in the ancient world sense) as he travels with his army across the known world and incorporates those he conquers into his traveling army.

In 336 BC Alexander set out with around 37,000 soldiers to build his empire. First they crossed the river Danube to fortify the northern frontier. Then they negotiated the strait at Hellespont (a narrow strait between the Aegean and Marmara seas) with the intention of taking control of Persia. The army marched towards Babylon, fighting along the way, until encountering the forces of Darius III at Issus (modern day Syria). Even though the Macedonians were heavily outnumbered they routed the Persian army after a fake retreat ordered by tactician Alexander. Darius and his men fled for their lives, but left behind a vast wealth, including his own wife and mother. One might expect Alexander to have them killed for being in league with the enemy. Instead he treated them with care, compassion and respect. This was the beginning of Alexander's attempts to integrate Persian and European lifestyles and customs, a move that the majority of his army resented.

His Persian Empire conquest took place 334-326 BCE.

In 1861, Alexander II freed the serfs and gave them small farms.
