In four years Alexander conquered the Phoenician cities of [[Trye]] and [[Sidon]], the countries of [[Canaan]] and [[Egypt]], the Persian cities of [[Susa]] and [[Persepolis]], and many other lands. Wherever he went, Alexander spread Greek language and culture. Finally when he reached the Indus River, his homesick army decided that they would go no farther. So Alexander decided to set up a capital for his new empire in [[Babylon]]. Tragically, in 323 B.C., Alexander Died of fever after ruling in Babylon for only about a year.
