Episode Synopsis
Send us a textBorn in blood and prophecy in 356 BC, Alexander of Macedonia was never meant for peace. His mother, Olympias, whispered of divine ancestry and Achilles’ blood. His father, Philip II, carved an empire from fractured tribes and raised a son who would not just inherit a kingdom—but demand the world.Tutored by Aristotle, trained by war, Alexander's brilliance was matched only by his hunger. As a boy, he broke the wild horse Bucephalus; as a man, he broke the Persian Empire. When Philip was assassinated, 20-year-old Alexander took the throne—and set the ancient world on fire.From the ruins of Thebes to the palaces of Babylon, he moved like a storm, crushing armies, toppling kings, and crowning himself in their ashes. But conquest was never enough. He sought to fuse East and West into one empire, one legacy, under one name: his.This is not the story of a man who wanted power. It’s the story of a man who wanted to become a god—and very nearly did.Referral links:Alexander The Great Support the showFor books written and published by Keith Hocton www.entrepotpublishing.com
