Alexander III of Macedonia, whom history came to call "the Great," was one of the most talented military generals who ever lived. A larger-than-life character in every way, he was driven by unrelenting ambition. His empire stretched from Greece eastward to India and encompassed dozens of diverse peoples with separate languages and cultures. He spread Greek ideas and customs throughout these lands, affecting their political and social development for many centuries to come.
