The Life of Alexander

From Parallel Lives
This is the life of Alexander the Great as recounted by the prominent Greek philosopher and historian Plutarch in the first century CE.
Among the many remarkable personalities that emerged in Ancient Greece, none has exerted as lively a fascination as that of Alexander III (356–323 BCE), king of Macedon, most commonly known as Alexander the Great. He was called ‘the Great’ for the breadth of his conquests, the young age at which he accomplished them, and the immeasurable impact they have had on history. This is his life as recounted by the prominent Greek philosopher and historian Plutarch in the first century CE.
