He is mentioned in the Bible as well as the Qur'an. When asked to name other great military leaders, Caesar reportedly said Alexander was the only great one. Born in 356 b.c., the son of Philip II of Macedonia, Alexander the Great was educated by Aristotle, became a consummate horseman, and commanded a wing of his father's army. By the time of his death at age thirty-two, he ruled as the shah of Persia, a pharaoh of Egypt by right of conquest, and the crowned king of Asia.
