Alexander III of Macedon, often known as Alexander the Great, was the monarch of Macedon in ancient Greece. In 356 BC, he was born in Pella, a city in Ancient Greece, as a descendant of the Argead monarchy. At the age of 20, he replaced his father King Philip II to the throne and spent the majority of his reign undertaking a protracted war of aggression across Western Asia and Northeastern Africa. He had built one of the biggest empires in history by the age of 30, ranging from Greece to northeastern India. He is largely regarded as one of history's finest and most effective military leaders, having gone unbeaten in war.

Alexander was educated by Aristotle till he was sixteen years old. Alexander's father Philip was slain during the marriage of Cleopatra of Macedon, Alexander's sister, in 336 BC, and Alexander ascended to the kingdom of Macedon. Alexander was given the military prowess of Greece after storming the city of Thebes. He utilized his power to carry out his father's pan-Hellenic plan, which included his taking over as the head of the Greeks in the invasion of Persia.
