Explanation:

Alexander III of Macedonia better known as Alexander the Great and successor of Olympia of Epirus and Philip II of Macedonia, his father, who prepared him to reign, providing a military experience and entrusting Aristotle with his intellectual training. His ascension to the throne was not easy, his father exiled him with his mother for considering him an adulterous son. His mother went into exile in Epirus and Alexander's friends were also exiled for a possible conspiracy. Filipo dies murdered, and Alejandro takes power, eliminating adversaries who could claim the throne.

In his reign of thirteen years, he completely changed the political and cultural structure of the area, conquering the Achaemenid Empire and beginning a period of extraordinary cultural exchange, in which the Greeks expanded into the Mediterranean and near-eastern environments. This is the so-called Hellenistic period (323 BC-30 BC). So much so that his exploits have turned him into a myth and, in some moments, into almost a divine figure, possibly because of the deep religiosity that he manifested throughout his life.

In his thirty-two years of life, his empire extended from Greece, to the Indus Valley in the East and to Egypt in the West, where he founded the city of Alexandria (today Al-'Iskandariya, الاسكندرية). Prolific founder of cities, this Egyptian city would be by far the most famous of all Alexandria founded by the also pharaoh Alexander. Of the seventy cities he founded, fifty of them bore his name.
