Alexander the Great, son of Philip, dies in 323 BCE at age 33 after a cross–continental swath of extraordinary conquests, including the Iberian Peninsula, the Mediterranean, former Babylon, Persia and India.
Alexander was a conqueror of mythical stature, who, as far as these matters go, was benevolent to the conquered territories and, as a rule, benevolent even to the hitherto royal families of the respective conquered lands.
