Listen "Who was Alexander the Great?"
Episode Synopsis
Alexander's life was a short, brilliant, and violent flame that blazed across the ancient world. He was a military genius, a visionary who founded cities that would become centers of learning, and a ruthless conqueror whose ambition cost hundreds of thousands of lives. He lived his life in pursuit of the immortal glory of his hero, Achilles, and he achieved it. He became the benchmark against which all future conquerors, from Caesar to Napoleon, would measure themselves, a figure so extraordinary that he forever blurred the line between man and myth.
