Alexandre le Grand

Alexandre le Grand, known as Alexander the Great, was a powerful ancient Macedonian king who lived from 356 to 323 BCE. He expanded his empire through military conquests, creating one of the largest empires in history, stretching from Greece through Egypt and into India. Renowned for his leadership, strategic brilliance, and cultural influence, he spread Greek language and ideas across these regions. His conquests helped shape the course of history by blending Greek culture with those of conquered peoples, leading to the Hellenistic era—a period characterized by Greek art, science, and philosophy mingling with other traditions.
