“My father will get ahead of me in everything, and will leave nothing great for me to do” (Alexander the Great from history to eternity). Alexander was king of Macedonia which at that time was much of the conquered world. Alexander was born in Pella, Macedonia to his father Phillip of Macedon and his mother Olympias princess of Epirus. As a child Alexander was strong and fearless which made him into one of the greatest generals in history. When Alexander was thirteen years old, he became the pupil of Aristotle (Alexander the Great from history to eternity). Studying under Aristotle is where Alexander learned how to be a great leader.
Alexander became king of Macedonia at the age of 20 where he went out and conquered most of the civilized world back then. In 331B.C Alexander conquered Persia defeating Darius III King of Persia. Conquering Persia was part of his father’s plan which his father was never able to do. For three years Alexander was ruler of the world and made his people worship him as a god. Alexander’s ambition made him into the great known ruler still today that conquered the world. Alexander died on June 13, 323 B.C due to the disease of malaria. After Alexander’s death his kingdom split because Alexander left no choice for anyone to take over. The quote by John F. Kennedy, “Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future”, meaning is so deep that it can relate to; film, person, literature, music, sports, technology, and history.
