Alexander III of Macedon
(20/21 July 356 – 10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as
Alexander the Great (Greek:
Ἀλέξανδρος ὁ Μέγας,
Aléxandros ho Mégasiii[›]
from the Greek ἀλέξω alexo
"to defend, help" + ἀνήρ
aner "man"), was a king of Macedon,
a state in northern ancient
Greece. Born in Pella
in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle
until the age of 16. By the age of thirty, he had created one of the
largest
empires of the ancient
world, stretching from the Ionian
Sea to the Himalayas.[1]
He was undefeated in battle and is considered one of history's most
successful commanders.
Alexander was born on the 6th
day of the ancient Greek month of Hekatombaion,
which probably corresponds to 20 July 356 BC, although the exact
date is not known,[4]
in Pella, the
capital of the Ancient
Greek Kingdom
of Macedon.[5]
He was the son of the king of Macedon, Philip
II, and his fourth wife, Olympias,
the daughter of Neoptolemus
I, king of Epirus.[6][7][8]
Although Philip had seven or eight wives, Olympias was his principal
wife for some time, likely a result of giving birth to Alexander.
