Alexander the Great didn’t earn that title for nothing. Son of Philip II of Macedon, he grew up surrounded by battles, strategies, and books — and even had Aristotle as his tutor. From a young age, he showed a restless and ambitious spirit, but also a charisma that inspired his soldiers to follow him to the ends of the earth. And that’s exactly what he set out to do: conquer the known world, one city at a time.
It is said that upon encountering the Gordian Knot — a legendary tangle no one had been able to untie — Alexander wasted no time with subtlety. Instead of trying to undo it, he simply cut it with his sword. This bold gesture became a symbol of how he handled problems: with daring and a willingness to break tradition. He crossed deserts, climbed mountains, founded cities (like Alexandria in Egypt), and faced enormous empires such as Persia.
Despite all his glory, he died young, at 32, under circumstances that still spark speculation to this day. But his legacy lives on — not only in history books but also in the cultural traces he left behind. Alexander didn’t just conquer territories; he blended cultures. He embraced local customs, united diverse peoples, and perhaps that’s why, centuries later, his name still carries a nearly mythical weight.
