Here is some of facts about Alexander The Great :

 

·         Born around July 20, 356 B.C.

·         Son of King Philip II of Macedon and Olympias, daughter of King Neoptolemus I of Epirus. Olympias was not the only wife of Philip and there was much conflict between Alexander’s parents.

·         Tutored by Leonidas (possibly his uncle) and the great Greek philosopher Aristotle.

·         During his youth, Alexander tamed the wild horse Bucephalus. Later, when his beloved horse died, Alexander renamed a city in India for Bucephalus.

·         In 340 B.C., while father Philip went off to fight rebels, Alexander was made regent in Macedonia. During Alexander’s regency, the Maedi of northen Macedonia revolted. Alexander put down the revolt and renamed their city Alexandroupolis.

·         In 336 B.C. his father Philip was assassinated, and Alexander the Great became ruler of Macedonia.

·         Had several rivals executed in order to secure the throne.

·         Alexander the Great had three wives: Roxane, Statiera, and Parysatis.

·         Children: Herakles, son of Alexander’s mistress Barsine, and Alexander IV, son of Roxane. Both children were killed before they reached adulthood.

·         One of the legends about Alexander the Great is that when he was in Gordium, in Turkey, in 333 B.C., he undid the Gordian Knot which had been tied by the legendary King Midas. The prophecy about the Gordian knot was that the person who untied it would rule all of Asia. Alexander the Great is said to have undone the knot by slashing through it wilth a sword.

·         In 323 B.C. Alexander the Great returned to Babylonia where he became ill suddenly, and died at age 33. The cause of his death is unknown. It could have been disease or posion.

Here is some of opinion about Alexander The Great :

• Deadly agents that could have killed Alexander in one or more doses include hellebore and strychnine. In R. Lane Fox’s opinion

 

• Modern opinion on Alexander has run the gamut, from the notion that he believed that he was on a divinely-inspired mission to unite the human race to the view that he was a megalomaniac bent on world domination.^{[citation needed]} Such views tend to be anachronistic, and sources allow for a variety of interpretations. Much about Alexander’s personality and aims remains enigmatic: there were no disinterested commentators in his own time or soon afterwards, so all accounts ought to be read with scepticism.

 

• The general opinion is that the tomb could be located in the Latin Cemeteries, somewhere between the ancient Via Canopica (rediscovered by el-Falaki) and Via R1, in the modern city of Alexandria.

 

• This wide range of opinion can be attributed to a lack of hard facts on Alexander at any kind of a personal level. While his expansion of the Macedonian empire, military tactics, and ascension to power are well documented and not disputed, very little light is cast on Alexander as a person beyond relationships with a few close military comrades and a poorly chronicled struggle with alcoholism.

 

• Alexander the great was a cocky guy in my opinion
