Blog Post #6 Biased Biography on Alexander The Great

Alexander the Great was a king of Macedon, a state in northern Greece. By the age of thirty, he created one of the largest empires in ancient history. The empire stretched from the Ionian Sea to the Himalayas. He was undefeated in the battle and I think that is the reason he is called Alexander the Great and I think he did deserve this title. Alexander was born in Pella in 20 or 21 July in 356 B.C and died in 10 or 11 June 323 B.C. when he was 32 years old. He was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle. Alexander's reign lasted 13 years. It was from 336-323 B.C. Alexander had many other titles being King of Macedon, Hegemon of the Hellenic, League, Shahanshah of Persia, Pharaoh of Egypt and Lord of Asia, but the most important one was Alexander the Great.Alexander's father was Philip II, King of Macedonia. Alexander was really great because of when his father Philip died, he had the courage two fill in his crown and build one of the greatest empires.
