Alexander the Great

Alexander III of Macedon, known as Alexander the Great, succeeded Philip II in 336 BC and led campaigns through Asia Minor, Egypt, Persia, and into India. Because ancient sources disagree on exact dates and medical details, Dayze stores his life-in-days comparison as an approximate historical estimate rather than a normal modern date span.

• •He famously tamed the wild horse Bucephalus at a young age, a feat that impressed his father, King Philip II.
• •Alexander the Great never lost a battle during his military campaigns.
• •He founded over 20 cities across his empire, many of which were named Alexandria after himself.
• •Despite his vast conquests, Alexander died relatively young at the age of 32 in Babylon.
