Alexander III of Macedon (356 –323 BC), Alexander the Great was a Greek king
of Macedon. Alexander was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle. In 336
BC he succeeded his father Philip II of Macedon to the throne after he was
assassinated. Philip had brought most of the city-states of mainland Greece
under Macedonian hegemony, using both military and diplomatic means. In 334
BC he invaded Persian ruled Asia Minor and began a series of campaigns
lasting ten years. Alexander broke the power of Persia in a series of decisive
battles, most notably the battles of Issus and Gaugamela.
Subsequently he overthrew the Persian king Darius III and conquered the
entirety of the Persian Empire. The Macedonian Empire now stretched from the
Adriatic Sea to the Indus River. Following his desire to reach the "ends of the
world and the Great Outer Sea", he invaded India in 326 BC, but was eventually
forced to turn back by the near-mutiny of his troops.
Alexander’s Empire covered most of the Parthian area. After the death of
Alexander Taxila was taken over by Gondaphores and the Indo-Parthian
Kingdom was established.
