Pella, Greece

 

Born into entitlement, birthright of an only son...
One of divine birth, descendant of the gods...
Born to be great...

 

Intelligence cloaked in debonaire, studying poetry and philosophy...
Rereading every word of the Iliad, under the tutelage of Aristotle...
Becoming the great…

 

Chaeronea, Greece

 

Young and inexperienced, grasping for respect...
Commanding the cavalry, conqueror of Athens and Thebes...
Becoming the great…

 

Asia

 

Intending to expand, devouring enemy soldiers...
Enchanting beauty, love at first-sight, Roxana his wife...
Becoming the great...

 

Egypt

 

Skilled and ambitious, determined to be remembered...
Hailing him as a god, son of Ammon, savior of the Egyptians...
Becoming the great…

 

Babylon

 

Death that came in the night, of mysterious and unknown cause...
The ultimate betrayal, or the cruel hand of malaria...
Remembered as the great.
