   ocr: Alerander the Great About Alerander the Great Alexander of Macedon (356-323 B.C.E.) was the greatest general of ancient times and one of the legendary conquerors in world history. He spent half of his short life waging wars ofconquest, yet never lost a battle. He became king at 20, and was master of an empire that stretched from the Mediterranean Sea to India by his deathat: age 32. Alexander spread Greek culture and learing throughout the ancient world and tried to encourage understanding between the peoples of his far-flung empire.
