      Alexander the Great

      Alexander the Great’s official title was Alexander III of Macedon. He was an undefeated king and commander who had an enormous hunger for power. After he conquered lands, what made Alexander different, was how he adopted some of their values, dress and culture. Alexander the Great in many ways introduced the concept of multiculturalism to the world. Alexander the Great is remembered for his fierce battle strategies and superb leadership skills.

The ancient Greeks believed in many powerful Gods, like Zeus, the god of the sky and thunder. Some ancient Greeks believed that Alexander was the son of Zeus.
