Alexander the Great

Emperor

A towering figure of ancient Greek history, Alexander the Great is said to have come close to conquering the civilized world. The son of King Phillip II of Macedon, Alexander was educated by the philosopher Aristotle and first led troops at age 18. After his father's death he whipped the superpower Persians and conquered much of the civilized world. He died suddenly at age 33 after a bout of heavy drinking; some suggest he was poisoned, though no cause of death has ever been proved.

Extra credit: Alexander's favorite horse Bucephalus is one of history's famous steeds.

Alexander appears in the following loops: with Bucephalus in Seven Horses of Highly Effective People; with Britney Spears in I'm Not Dead Yet!; with Napoleon in Possibly Poisoned; with Lord Nelson in Oddly Preserved; and as an honorary member of Celebrity Beekeepers.
