Everything we know about Alexander comes from ancient sources, which agree unanimously that he was extraordinary and greater than everyday mortals.

The son of the great King Philip II of Macedonia, Alexander was educated by Aristotle and commanded a wing of his father's army in the victory over the Thebans and Athenians at the Battle of Chaeronea - all when he was still just a teenager. By the time of his death at age 32, he had amassed an empire that stretched from the Adriatic Sea to the Indus River and included all of Persia and most of Egypt.

His victories won him many supporters, but they also earned him enemies. This easy-to-listen-to biography offers a fascinating look at the life of Alexander and the world in which he lived.

Alexander's influence on cultural and political history and the scope of his military prowess remains awe-inspiring to this day.

Another good and fair priced introduction to Alexander the great.However there seems to be an repeating theme esp with N.American narrators.They cannot pronounce the names and words of the Hellenic world properly.Antipater and Nearchus being prominent.With these small exceptions an easy listen with some good well researched facts.

Another good short introduction.
