Alexander is celebrated not only for his military prowess but also for spreading Greek culture throughout his empire, a period known as the Hellenistic Era. He founded several cities, most famously Alexandria in Egypt, which became centers of learning and culture.
Alexander's life was marked by ambition and a relentless drive for conquest. He died in 323 BCE at the age of 32 in Babylon, leaving behind a legacy that shaped the course of history. His empire fragmented soon after his death, but his influence on culture, governance, and military strategy continues to be felt to this day.
