Top 13 Interesting Facts About Alexander the Great

Alexander the Great, King of Macedon from 336 - 323 B.C., was unarguably one of the most influential figures in history.

His empire spread from Gibraltar to Punjab, and he made Greek the lingua franca of his world, the language that helped spread early Christianity.

After his father, Philip II, unified most of the reluctant city-states of Greece, Alexander continued his conquests by taking Thrace and Thebes (in the area of Greece), Syria, Phoenicia, Mesopotamia, Assyria, Egypt, and on to Punjab, in northern India, present-day Pakistan.

We have gathered the top 13 interesting facts about this amazing figure you probably never knew. #HistoryVille
