The Life of Alexander the Great (Modern Library Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
In 336 b.c. Philip of Macedonia was assassinated and his twenty-year-old son, Alexander, inherited his kingdom. Immediately quelling rebellion, Alexander extended his fatherâ€™s empire through-out the Middle East and into parts of Asia, fulï¬lling the soothsayer Aristanderâ€™s prediction that the new king â€œshould perform acts so important and glorious as would make the poets and musicians of future ages labour and sweat to describe and celebrate him.â€

The Life of Alexander the Great is one of the ï¬rst surviving attempts to memorialize the achievements of this legendary king, remembered today as the greatest military genius of all time. This exclusive Modern Library edition, excerpted from Plutarchâ€™s Lives, is a riveting tale of honor, power, scandal, and bravery written by the most eminent biographer of the ancient world.
