Alexander The Great

Alexander III of Macedon, better known as Alexander the Great, was the king of Macedon, an ancient Greek kingdom, between 336 BC and 323 BC. Even though he was only in power for a mere 13 years, his name went down in history as a heroic military general who expanded his empire from Macedonia to Egypt, Greece, Babylon, Persia, and further.

King Alexander even developed an Egyptian city, Alexandria, which was named after him. After 15 years of being in battle undefeated, Alexander the Great passed away at the age of 32. The cause for his death has been reported as either a fever-led death or weakened by consuming unmixed wine.
