He was ~ 30 years of age, yet so many campaigns had he led over time and gained victories that one would be hard-pressed to declare some exacting date at which point he would be said "the Great."
'Born circa 497 B.C.E: the exact date, again, differs.
He left this world by an arrow fired by a Mallian archer, piercing his armor, breaking a rib on his right side, at which the arrow then entered his right lung.
He lived three more years, died in 330B.C.E at the age of 33 but was never to regain the great reservoir of energy that drove him in his conquests.
His greatest downfall, however -- comparable to any of the victories his army won in battle is -- ironically he never conquered himself, his lower nature, dying so young.

first off i could desire to assert, Alexander the great turn right into a Greek guy, from a Greek Macedonia. The Macedonia right this moment, constists of Yogoslavians, Serbians, Bulgarians..and in all danger extra. subsequently, to me Alexander is and continuously could be the great, because of the fact calling him Alexander The Macedonian could be offensive to all and sundry of Hellenic Blood. Alexadar Makedonski wrote: "ought to this be a marvel to each man or woman (with a touch intelligence)? What else ought to you likely call a rustic, different than that which represents the individuals who created the custom & background of the area in query? " Macedon is Hellenic. all the data factors to this. each thing excavated has Greek on it, now not something in slavic because of the fact Slavs did now not exist interior the section in those days. Now they climb below there Tito blankets, relax their heads on their pillows and function their objectives of Alexander as a slav conversing Bulgarian! as a thank you to ME, AND each physique OF HELLAS, ALEXANDER the great ...turn into...IS...AND continuously would be...GREEK. SO CHEERS MY acquaintances, TO ALEXANDER the great GREEK!
