Alexander the Great (born 356 BC, Pella, Macedonia [northwest of Thessaloníki, Greece]—died June 13, 323 BC, Babylon [near Al-Ḥillah, Iraq]) was the king of Macedonia (336–323 BC), who overthrew the Persian empire, carried Macedonian arms to India, and laid the foundations for the Hellenistic world of territorial kingdoms. Already in his lifetime the subject of fabulous stories, he later became the hero of a full-scale legend bearing only the sketchiest resemblance to his historical career.Category
