There were many great rulers in Greece but the most famous was Alexander.
Alexander was born in 356 B.C. in Macedonia. His father Philip of Macedonia
was an excellent general. Alexander was tutored by the philosopher Aristotle
until the age of 16. He was called 'the Great' because he conquered more
lands than anyone before him and became the overall ruler of Greece.
He conquered all the lands that he
believed was the entire world!!!
Alexander never lost a war.
He conquered India. He would
have conquered more lands but
he died of sickness at the age of 32.
The world learnt a lot about the
Greeks from him!
