Alexander III or better known as "Alexander The Great" was a king of ancient Greek Macedonia. He was born in 356 BC. in Pella, which is the main city of Macedonia. He followed the footsteps of his father Philip II after his assassination in 336 B.C. He died in Babylonia in 323 B.C. (32 years old). During his reign, King Philip II in Macedonia concluded that he was reconciling the Macedonians and the Greeks who had further expanded the jurisdiction of Macedonia, and Alexander served as his general captain whose first goal was to seize the Asian minor, due to long Greeks and Persians war. (Busephalus was the name of his favored horse and King Phillip II was his late father.)

His young mind and lack of experience was driving the other Asian team to his side, but the Greeks did not allow it to show his eloquence of discipline for the military to admire the Greeks. He plans to conduct a short but successful campaign in neighboring Macedonia to expand its territory further into the North Danube. While he was not there, his two generals, Athena and Thebes, committed suicide. But because of Alexander's immediate action, he prevented their attack from maintaining peace in the Greek empire. When problems with the Greek empire East Asia was over, he called his attention. Because of Alexander's ten-year successive campaign in other parts of Asia for ten years, he has made enough or more to defeat the Persian Empire. They defeated King Darius III who suffered, made Bessus the king of Bactria captive and killed him then. The only founder of King Darius III's body was one of the warriors of Macedonia in a carriage, and Alexander covered the body of his robe.

After they had conquered all of Asia and Persia, he found India and found it so difficult because India's territory is vast and its weapons are strong like its use of elephants instead of horses. Alexander was wounded in the chest while struggling to death, his favorite horse, Bucephalus, was killed by a spear and due to its age (30 years old). As a result, Alexander made a statue and named a city of Bucephala. He conquered India but the Indians thought of him badly and because of Alexander's army's boom, his troops struck him. Alexander claims to have died of malaria, typhoid fever and encephalitis. Others argue Alexander's wine poisoned by those who opposed him. He had married two princesses in different towns; Princess Roxana of Bactria, and Princess Stateira of Persia (son of king Darius III). Alexander the Great, therefore, was the so-called prince of Asia because he had many conquests and therefore called him Alexander The Great. He is recognized as the most successful leader of all time. He also remembered his fighting ability, his conquest, the spread of Greek culture in the East, and introduced a trail of Hellenistic civilization.

Although Alexander III had wives, he's gay.
