the labour pains came one spring evening.Olympias breathed her first breath after giving birth to her son Alexander.she looked into those serene blue eyes and knew this was the child of her dreams.
born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander was tutored by the famed philosopher Aristotle ,succeeded his father Phillip of Macedon to the throne in 336 BC after the King was assassinated, and died thirteen years later at the age of 32. Although both Alexander's reign and empire were short-lived, the cultural impact of his conquests lasted for centuries. Alexander was known to be undefeated in battle and is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time. He is one of the most famous figures of antiquity, and is remembered for his tactical ability, for his conquests, and for spreading Greek culture into the East, marking the beginning of Hellenistic civilizations.
this person just mentioned above is one of the most successful and ingenious people to set foot on this earth.but the shadows of his past have always hidden behind his glory.Alexanders childhood was quite disturbing(supposedly) and those who have imagined his childhood to be the iconic kind of adolescent life, royal treatment,lavish lifestyle the works.........not quite.Greek historians claim that he had quite a disturbed childhood.befriended by no one,loved by his father but lacked proper fatherly attention.his mother quite on the contrary was anything but ignorant.she cared for him but abruptly left him after having a heated argument with her husband the king who was mysteriously murdered shortly after.Alexanders childhood is really incongruous in reference to his glorious life. but this boy was destined for great things and mere intuition told him not to give up on himself,he was really the child of dreams
