Alexander the Great was a warrior and disciple of the philosopher Aristotle. Alexander never lost a battle and formed the most powerful empire known to date, which stretched from Greece to Egypt, passing through present-day Iran and Afghanistan, and reaching as far as India. All this at a time when the Roman Empire was still just a project. Despite conquering so many peoples, Alexander respected their cultures and traditions and did not try to impose his values ​​on these regions. He was one of the main people responsible for bringing Western and Eastern cultures closer together, contributing to the birth of Hellenistic culture. And all this before he was 33 years old. There are several legends about Alexander's birth. One of them says that Olympias, his mother, before getting pregnant, dreamed that her belly had been struck by lightning, so the boy was actually the son of Zeus, the supreme god of the Greek pantheon. I tell these and other stories in this video.
