What was your childhood like?
I was born in Macedonia to to Philip II. Luckily, I had the great Aristotle as my teacher.
So how did you take over?
My father was assassinated in 336 B.C., so I took over as king.
What did you do to the places you conquered, Alexander?
I instituted Hellenism. Under this, we took the good things about societies we defeated and spread our culture into their cities. There would always be a grid plan that included an Agora and a Theatre in every city.
Can you give details on your successful campaign?
I defeated Persia at Arbela on 331 B.C.. I also waged war on Tyre. After my victory, I went to Egypt and they declared me Pharaoh.
Do you think that you deserve to be remembered?
I do. My tactical genius and conquest is possibly the greatest one in history.
