Alexander the Great

Alexander grew up in vantage view of Mount Olympus.
When he was a young boy he learned under Aristotle
Alexander's father was Philip the king of Macedonia.
Alexander becomes king when he turns nineteen because the people of Macedonia killed his father.
Alexander decides that he will single-handedly invade and conquer Persia- and succeeds. To start he goes to Troy and throws a pear at the long abandoned shore claiming that he will conquer Asia.
A few years later he conquered more than half of the known war.
Alexander arrives at a town named Gordian. He is presented with the Gordian knot, an intricate and near impossible knot to untie. It is said that the one who unties it will be the next king.
"It doesn't matter how you undo the knot."
Alexander then makes his way to Egypt where he is hailed as a king because he is anti-Persian.
Alexander and his friends went on a road trip and is proclaimed the Son of a God. He returns to Egypt fulfilled.
He heads to Persepolis, the greatest empire the world had yet seen.

Battle of Issus
Alexander meets Darius' forces at the river Issus.
Persian side: Darius was in the middle of the forces flanked by Greek mercenaries. Next to these flanks on either sides were Persian soldiers. These were all archers. Near the Gulf were calvary. Alexander used a weak side flank and took out Darius' Persians with his calvary and then rushes on his Greeks from the side.
Darius gives Alexander all but the entirety of Persia.
Alexander revives Darius to win the affection of the Persians, who he know had control over. He hunts down the man who injured Darius like this, Bessus. He tracks him to a great mountain and takes a rougher path but eventually gains on him, tortures him, and impales the new enemy.

Alexander makes his way south to India. As soon as he steps foot into India he is waylaid for days and days, his army getting fatigued and he himself receiving so called mortal wounds that he chanced to survive.
Alexander heard that there was life beyond the point was previously believed but his arm refuses. He wants to receive an omen first, but the one he gets is a bad one and he goes back home.
Making his way home he steps into Babylon, where he lost a friend and goes in to a deep state of depression. The factors stack up against him from war and sickness and he dies.
His entire massive empire is split up between his generals.
Seleucid Empire is the Eastern part of Alexander's empire.
Egypt is given to Ptolemy, whose Greek descendants will rule Egypt for ages.
