Imagine sitting in a temple, when your city walls are broken down by a Macedonian king. You see people all over being slaughtered, with the king smiling evilly with your king. Looking around, you see all the soldiers going from house to house, but skipping the temples in your city. The king who broke into your city is Alexander the Great. He was born in 356 B.C.E, to King Philip of Macedonia. His father Philip took over Greece, with plans of taking over Persia before he was assassinated. Alexander took power at 20 and took over Persia, moving to Central Asia, India, and Egypt. He fought for 10 years before his soldiers stopped fighting, when they reached the Indus River. Alexander of Macedonia was not deserving of the title “Alexander the Great”
