Alexander Magno was educated by the most famous teachers of the time,
among them Aristotele, to govern sagely and to carry out heroic
undertakings.
In a little more than a year the sovereign of Macedonia, was able to
submit the cities in Greece and then was able to conquer the Cilicia and
Siria.
The Greek who had badly put up with Filippo’s domination, immediately
loved Alexander, to the point of giving him the command in the battle
against the Persians.
The war was quick and cruel, defeated Dario in the great battle in Isso
(333 BC), Alexander conquered the Persian territories and extended his
domain to Battirana, the Afghanistan of today, and to the river Indo, in
India.
While he was programming new undertakings, Alexander suddenly died in
Babylon in 323 BC.
His son, still a newborn, was not able to govern of course, so they
divided the territory among the Generals, the Diodachi, who when
Alexander’s son died, divided the territory in Hellenic reigns, that
started a new civilization (Hellenic) made by the union of the customs of
the submitted people and the Greek ones.
Alexander Magno was also the founder of Alexandria of Egypt, city of the
Tolomei court where scientists, artists, famous poets gathered and where
the first great library of the world was founded.
