This paper briefly describes the life and military rule of Alexander the Great over Macedonia and the rest of the areas he conquered. It discusses how he consolidated power, restored order and dealt harshly with anyone who opposed his rule or tactics.
From the Paper:
"Alexander the Great (356-323 BC) was a Macedonian king and a legendary conqueror. His father was Philip II of Macedonia, and his mother was Olympias, the daughter of Neoptolemus, king of Egypt (Milns, 1968). Historians and biographers claim that much of Alexander's inspiration and motivation was drawn from his lifelong love of Homer's heroic poems, especially the Iliad (Bosworth, 1988). In 343 BC, Alexander's father invited the Greek philosopher Aristotle to the Macedonian court to act as his personal tutor, which resulted in Alexander developing a profound respect both for Aristotle and for the world of culture in general (Green, 1974)."
