 King of Macedonia and most of the known world from 336-323 B.C., Alexander
  the Great's conquests are all the more remarkable when it is considered
that he died at 33 years of age. That he loved power there is little doubt,
 but he was well educated, the great philosopher Aristotle having been one
  of his teachers. It can be said that he brought Greek culture in to the
   east.
