'''Alexander the Great'''

'''Alexander the Great''' was born in 356 BC to [[Philip II of Macedon]]. While growing up, Alexander was tutored by [[Aristotle]] from whom he learned philosophy and geography among other subjects.  Alexander's father was a warrior and unified Greece under his overall rule after defeating them militarily.  A young Alexander successfully led a cavalry regiment during this campaign in the decisive [[Battle of Chaeronea]].  Phillip planned to conquer [[Persia]] next, but was assassinated in 336. It is generally agreed that Alexander was not part of the plot, although his mother who was estranged from Phillip might have been.
