Alexander the Great
(356-323 BC)

Alexander became king of Macedonia at 20 after his father was killed. A famous story says that as a boy he tamed a wild horse named Bucephalus that nobody else could ride. He went on to take that horse with him on his campaigns.

In about 13 years he led his army through Egypt, Persia and as far east as India, and he is said to have never lost a battle. He founded many cities, including Alexandria in Egypt, and then died in Babylon at 32, which is still a mystery.
