Scene of the Macedonian army following Alexander the Great.

Alexander the Great (336-323 BC) is one of the most fascinating characters in world history. Few men have attained such a “legendary” position as the Macedonian king.

During his reign he completely changed the political and cultural structure of the area by conquering the Achaemenid Empire and ushering in an era of extraordinary cultural exchange, in which the Greeks spread throughout the Mediterranean and near-eastern spheres. This is the so-called Hellenistic period (323 BC – 30 BC). In his thirty-two years of life, his empire extended from Greece to the Indus Valley in the east and to Egypt in the west, where he founded the city of Alexandria. He sought the unity of peoples beyond their religion and culture based on the best of human beings.
