## Bio

Born in Pella and tutored by Aristotle until 16, Alexander succeeded his father Philip II in 336 BC and immediately crushed resistance in the Balkans before destroying Thebes. He launched his invasion of Persia in 334 BC and broke the Achaemenid Empire through victories at Issus and Gaugamela, overthrowing Darius III and claiming the entire realm. He pushed into India in 326 BC and defeated King Porus at the Hydaspes, but his troops mutinied at the Beas River and forced the turn home. He died in 323 BC at 32 in Babylon, the city he'd meant to make his capital, ending plans for Arabia and triggering civil wars that tore his empire apart. The cities he founded, the Greek culture he planted across Asia, and the legends that coalesced into the Alexander Romance made him the measure against which commanders have judged themselves ever since.
