Alexander III (356 BC - 323 BC) became king of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia (馬其頓王國) when he was 20 years old. He inherited an experienced army and a strong kingdom from his father Philip II. He is called Alexander the Great because he was a great military leader. He expanded his empire by winning every battle.

After conquering much of Asia and Europe, he created one of the largest empires of the ancient world. He named at least 20 cities after himself in different parts of the world. He successfully spread Greek culture and is considered one of the most influential military leaders.
