Alexander the Great, born in 356 BCE, was a Macedonian king whose extraordinary intellect and leadership redefined the ancient world. Ascending to the throne at 20, he united Greece and launched a campaign against the Persian Empire, achieving remarkable victories. His ambition led him to India, where he befriended King Porus. Alexander's vision of cultural unity through Hellenistic cities shaped history, leaving a lasting legacy despite his early death at 32.
