He said “There is nothing impossible to him who will try.”

ALEXANDER – THE GREATSIKANDAR-E-AZAM

He was tutored by the famous Greek philosopher Aristotle for several years.

He developed a great respect for the Greek culture, literature, and science. Alexander took geographers and other scientists with his army to expand his knowledge of plants, animals, and geography. Alexander proved himself to be an incredible military commander.

I had rather excel others in the knowledge of what is excellent, than in the extent of my power and dominion”

LIFE & PERSONALITY TRAITS ARISTOTLE taught him an appreciation for the

fine arts of music, poetry, and drama, Philosophy, medicine, botany, zoology, and geography & Inspired him with a love for poetry and Greek culture

Alexander the Great is the most fascinating and enigmatic man in all of history. Any thorough study of his life is likely to yield a highly confused portrait of this great conqueror and king I SEE HIM as a man motivated by a need to explore the WORLD

What made Alexander 'Great?

The Alexander was fearless, charismatic, a brilliant tactician, a genius at leading men and empires, and an intensely curious intellectual.

Nothing stopped him. After more than 2,300 years, his name rings in memory, and his exploits still exhaust superlatives Now I will showers light on his life and death, memorably likens him to a human flame.

CAREER - UNMATCHABLE

Alexander's career depicts both filmy and fiction life. By the year 331 BC, before he was 26, he had conquered the Persian empire, the largest on earth, comprising modern Turkey, Egypt, the Mid-East, Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan, as well as parts of Central Asia Soviet Union & even China., Asia Minor and modern Syria, Lebanon and Judea, then last but not the least scooped up Egypt

GREATEST BATTLES The greatest of

Alexander's battles was against Porus, one of the most powerful Indian leaders.

ALEXANDER-the invincible!

Alexander felt that the best thing to do was to be decisive and swift. Alexander liked drama, the flute and the lyre, poetry and hunting. What he truly wanted in his life was glory and valor, rather than easy living and riches.

His empire reshaped the world politically and intellectually and profoundly shaped the development of modern Western civilization.

The Legacy of Alexander the Great

In his short career, Alexander developed an empire of over one million square miles.

Everywhere he conquered, he spread the Greek language and culture. After his death, his kingdom was divided into three separate kingdoms.

Motives in Motion

Some of you may see him as a tremendous human lightning-bolt that flashed across nearly one third of the planet. For them Alexander is a visionary internationalist, bringing Greek culture and ideas everywhere he went.

Some of you may called him a madman, a mass-murderer, an alcoholic, an egomaniacal tyrant, a self centered bone-collector who killed some of his dearest friends.

Look Friends No one, before or since, did what MY HERO did. He seemed to dare the whole world to oppose him, to show him the limits of ambition, strength and courage. The world, as if dazed and dream struck, bowed down and yielded nearly all to him.

In faith and hope the world will disagree, but all mankind's concern is charity. .”

Innovative & Brilliant Military Commander

Alexander was the most brilliant military commander in Greek history, a far-seeing statesman who made the Macedonian army into the most ferocious fighting machine the world had yet seen.

Innovative: Macedonian infantry massed six deep, carrying razor-

pointed, thin-bladed spears 18 feet long, called "sarissae," which they handled like pole-vaulters, two-handedly, so that the entire formation looked like an angry, lethal porcupine.

“I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.”

ALEXENDER THE DIVINE ? A Theory was here that Alexander was

poisoned by friends who were worn out by his brilliance, egotism and ambition, and that the murder was hushed up with a cover-story that he died of illness.

He died as mortals must, slain most likely by a malarial mosquito, but not before achieving immortality in human memory.

Alexander the GreatA Mystery

Alexander the Great shall remain a mystery (a fascinating one) for a very long time.

Huge armies with elephants, vast distances, dizzying mountains, unaffordable rivers, uncrossable deserts, hunger, thirst, the sea itself, the uttermost extremes of physical hardship and battle –

he had 21 healed wounds in his body when he died –

nothing on earth could halt Alexander the Great.

Q & A He was

unquestionably great; “You either Love him or you Hate him. He's very black and white."
