Alexander the Great Notes—TAPE ON 83 for Warm-Up Alexander was a prince, the son of the king of Macedonia, Philip II. Macedonia was not a Greek city-state. It was a country north of Greece. Aristotle was a teacher of Alexander, and he taught Alexander to greatly respect the Greek way of life. Alexander spoke Greek, knew Greek history, and believed in the Greek gods. Alexander was taught, by his father, to be a ruler, warrior, and a leader of men. Alexander the Great was taught that his job was to expand the Macedonian Empire, and always rule with a firm hand. Philip II had conquered most of the Greek city-states, including Sparta, by the time Alexander came to power. The Greeks hated Philip II, Alexander’s father, because of his harsh and unfair treatment, and when Alexander came to power they hated him too, even though Alexander let the Greeks manage their own city-states. The Greeks were Alexander’s worst enemy.

Alexander went on to conquer other Mediterranean cultures easily, including Egypt. Everywhere Alexander went he introduced Greek culture, including literature, myth, dance, language, money, medicine, art, and theater. He always allowed conquered people to run their own country as long as they were loyal to Alexander. If people refused to give Alexander their loyalty, they were killed. Alexander never lost a battle, and he had conquered the entire known world in the Mediterranean region. The empire stretched all the way to the Indus River.

The Egyptians welcomed him and he took Egypt under his rule. 4. Alexander the Great captured Babylon and the Persian capital Persepolis. He was crowned king of Asia. 5. By conquering Persia, Alexander had accomplished his goals. However, he continued his conquests, and 5 years later he reached the Indus River Valley. 6. Alexander wanted to continue pushing east, but his soldiers begged him to return to Greece because they had been marching for over a decade. (10 years) They had little food and the march back across the desert was difficult. 7. The army and Alexander stopped to rest in Babylon.
