Essential Lives

This book explores the life and legacy of Alexander the Great, one of history's most renowned conquerors and kings. Born in 356 BCE in Pella, Macedonia, Alexander was tutored by Aristotle and inherited the throne from his father, King Philip II. Under his leadership, Macedonia expanded its empire through a series of military campaigns, stretching from Greece to Egypt and into the heart of Persia and India. The book delves into Alexander's military strategies, his vision of a unified empire, his cultural impact, including the spread of Hellenistic culture, and the political and social changes that occurred under his rule. It also examines his untimely death at the age of 32 and the subsequent division of his empire among his generals. Katie Marsico's narrative provides insights into Alexander's complex character, his ambitions, and the enduring influence of his short but impactful life.
