Alexander III of Macedon, nicknamed Alexander the Great, King of Macedon, born on July 21, 356 BC, and conqueror of the Persian Empire. Alexander the Great is considered the greatest political figure of Antiquity. A great military strategist and creator of a work of great cultural transcendence, he is known as one of the most brilliant Generals in History. In addition to being a brave military man, he planned his campaigns with great lucidity, as at a very young age he showed great interest in the Persian Empire and its functioning, as well as in the Persian invasion of Macedon.
He faced the powerful Persian army commanded by Darius III in the Battle of Issus in 333 BC, achieving a great victory, and the Persian King fled eastward with all his forces, leaving the royal treasure in Alexander's hands. Phoenicia, Palestine, and Egypt surrendered without offering resistance. He was designated son of the God Ammon, and there he founded Alexandria and stimulated the construction of the Lighthouse of Alexandria. By 327 BC, he had conquered an Empire that extended from Greece to Asia Minor and India. He carried out a victorious campaign of more than 32,000 km that lasted 11 years.
