Although his life is covered with a secret (his grave was never discovered, he wrote, Alexander III of the Macedonian, nicknamed the Great (356-323 BC), remains one of the most outstanding heroes of all times. Having become the king of Macedonia at the age of 20, he rushed two years later to the conquest of the empire, which extended from Greece to India. The great warrior, but also a born administrator and, in a sense, the seer, Alexander the Great had a contradictory character: being a student of the philosopher Aristotle, he could show himself the merciful to the vanquished, but in anger he was capable of unheard of cruelty. Dreaming to unite the West and the East, mixing among themselves peoples and cultures, art and religion, he could live an unprecedented life if he had not died at 33 in Babylon, fighted by malaria.
