Produktbeschreibung

Destined for greatness, Alexander the Great demonstrated leadership qualities at an early age. Born in Macedonia, the country was undergoing turmoil with opposing ideologies emerging. The boy was thrust at the forefront of war at the age of 16 by his father. He led an army and defeated Thebes. He was instilled to believe that his existence in the world was of divine origin. Alexander the Great had conquered the known world by the age of 32.

He was led by a vision to expand his empire beyond what was ever imagined. The context of life was largely defined by his education through military and intellectual training. Owing to his teacher, Aristotle, he developed a sense of wisdom and brought the concept of civilization and his values to every territory that he captured.
