Alexander the Great: From History to Eternity
King Philip, Alexander's father, saw to it that his only son had the best education. Alexander and his compatriots
studied for three years under Aristotle. Alexander also received the very finest education in warfare and politics—
his daddy, a great leader and war strategist, taught him.
Alexander was a bundle of contradictions and extremes. He was both mystical and practical, a dreamer and a
pragmatist. He was capable of planning grand war strategies, yet paid attention to the details of supply and
logistics while on the march. He paid careful attention to his image and it is very difficult for us to separate fact
from propaganda.
His soldiers adored him, as did most who met him. He was handsome, courageous, intelligent. He was tireless
in the field, able to out-work most everyone around him. Yet, he was also a dreamer, given to fits and moods. He
had visions. His mother told him that he was not the son of Philip but the son of Apollo. In short, he was everything
a legend should be.
But, of course, Alexander did not conquer Asia by himself.
