Notes

Son of Zeus. Actual father was Phillip the 2nd. But, alas, his father left him alone for awhile. Olympias had their other son killed so Alexander could rule over Macedonia. He was tutored by Aristotle. He tamed a horse named Bucephalus, that was giant and black with a white mark on him. He was afraid of his shadow, and he was also known to be in some circumstances better than Pegasus. Then his father was assassinated  some say by Phillip's body guard. When Alexander came into power, he had his doubters executed. Then he continued on with his military career. Major battles - Battle of Granicus, Helacarnasis, the battle with the Persians (one of the greatest battles within that war - Battle with Darius the 3rd's men. They thought it was Darius and his men who killed Phillip the 2nd. The battle where he split them - IDK. India - Bucephalus died!! There were elephants. His people rebelled they were all upset. Then Alexander suddenly. Theories - poison  alcohol poisoning...yup. Nobody really knows the real cause of death. He didn't have time to rule this massive land piece of everything he'd conquered. Tried to combine Greek and Persian into Hellenistic. Xersis was the father of Darius the 3rd. Hydapsus is where Bucephalus died. Battle of Gaza, Hellencarnasis... He was 32 when he died. He was 20 when he started ruling.
