Alexander the Great is probably the most famous, admired, discussed, and studied leader in world history.

Tutored in his youth by Aristotle, a general at 16, and a king by the age of 20, Alexander is one of the most fascinating human beings to ever walk the earth. Young, handsome, and compassionate, Alexander fought side-by-side with his soldiers, further enduring him in the eyes of his troops who literally followed him to the ends of the earth. Born in 356 B.C., Alexander was one of history’s most influential military leaders and conquerors. With an unmatched military prowess, Alexander led his army to numerous victories, often employing innovative strategies and tactics. He conquered vast territories, including Persia, Egypt, and parts of India, creating an empire that stretched from Greece to Egypt and as far east as India
