The Leader and his lore

Young Alexander was educated by people like of Plato due the wisdom of the ages. In his youth, Plato had listened at the feet of Socrates. Alexander learned to look at all aspects of a situation. This is reflected by his father, King Philip of Macedonia, and his followers have failed to mount; and mount a strong horse for sale in Macedonia for an opportunity of owning the horse,the best amidst the most powerful nation on earth. Alexander was the last to attempt, after pleading with his father, who feared that the horse will harm the child.



Alexander may be the first recorded anecdote of the legendary horse whisperers. Alexander turned Bucephalus around, because he had noticed that the horse was afraid of his shadow, he will no longer be seen, in front of the opposite now. After a period of Alexander and Bucephalus whispers , stroking a huge beast, so he mounted and move around safely, Bucephalus was bought by Alexander. Philip exclaimed that Alexander should be looking for the a larger kingdom , one bigger than Macedonia, because it was not big enough for him.



As history shows, this was a prophetic statement. But Alexander was more than a brilliant tactician and a great warrior, who can inspire confidence in her husband's loyalty to the service, was a high level of understanding. When his beloved horse Bucephalus died in India, a year after Alexander wept as if he had lost blood brother, and was built in the city of leaving his beloved, a memory. To venture out, however, Alexander had always been the best at everything. In a private school is reserved for the princes of Greece, where Plato taught. The school was built for King Philip Platos the place of birth.



So this was an opportunity to impress and convince everyone after Greece if he could dominate these guys, and he did. classmates were Prince Alexander of Greece and other neighboring kingdoms. Since they all grew up and seized power in their own kingdoms, which were easily convinced to join by Alexander that everyone else seems to think it is an impossible dream: to attack and conquest of Persia. All the rest of the story was the opposite. Persian powerful control of much of Middle East. They controlled the whole of Turkey, which had always appeared at the gates of Greece, Athens and Sparta in particular.



Always attack with superior forces came from Persia, either by land or sea. Persia was determined and the Greeks and Macedonians were in a state of constant siege. When it came time Alexander had transported his men into Persian territory on the west coast of modern Turkey. His ten thousand soldiers Greek and Macedonian army against Persia. King Darius was on the back of them and they faced off against each other.



The Greeks turned the columns of the sixteen meter sticks, and sharp tip, which then created a massacre, the massacre, the Persian soldiers are fleeing, just as King Darius, when he saw and understood that these were the ten thousand warriors class who had never seen before.



It seemed impossible that the ten thousand one hundred thousand soldiers could defeat the Persians. But with the innovation of its front-line weapon Alexander had men equipped with a sharp stick sixteen feet, which struck first. The Persians, equipped only with bows and arrows and short swords, parties like the sea off the new force, the Greeks were strung Persian soldiers before they had the opportunity to use their swords and arrows do little damage to the Greeks moved to a wedge shape and attacked directly in the middle of the Persians.



Darius tried to flee but was killed by his own men fell to his knees a tribute to Alexander and her husband. Alexander ordered the kind treatment of women, and equitable discipline only when necessary, soldiers. All Persia soon became his, and he burned the old capital of Persepolis. You may decide to put a permanent mark in modern Turkey and Iran and that would be Alexandria, Alexander married Roxanne, a beautiful daughter defeated King Darius, and ten thousand of his men were also Persian bride. Today, the old Persia is apparently quite certain of the name Alexander, blue eyes are prevalent, in what was the arid locale called Persia.

 
Young Alexander of Macedonia was educated by great minds of his time, including those who followed in the intellectual tradition of Plato. In his youth, Plato had studied under Socrates, absorbing the wisdom of ages. From this lineage of learning, Alexander acquired a habit of examining every aspect of a situation carefully—a trait that became central to his leadership.


This thoughtful approach was evident early on, in a famous episode involving a wild horse named Bucephalus. While many in his father King Philip’s court had failed to tame the powerful beast, Alexander observed something others missed: the horse was not unruly, but afraid of its own shadow. He turned Bucephalus to face the sun, calming him, and after gently stroking and whispering to the horse, mounted him with ease. So impressed was King Philip that he declared his son was destined to seek a kingdom greater than Macedonia.


Alexander would go on to fulfill that prophecy. He was more than a fearless warrior and brilliant tactician; he was also a visionary with deep emotional intelligence. When Bucephalus died during Alexander’s campaign in India, the young king wept bitterly and founded a city in the horse’s memory—Bucephala.


As a youth, Alexander studied in a school built by King Philip in the birthplace of Plato, alongside princes from across Greece. Many of these classmates would later rule neighboring kingdoms. When Alexander proposed the seemingly impossible dream of conquering Persia, they followed him without hesitation.


Persia at the time was a mighty empire, controlling vast lands including modern-day Turkey. Repeated invasions from Persian forces had long threatened the freedom of Greek states like Athens and Sparta. Yet Alexander boldly transported his army—only ten thousand strong—into Persian territory. Facing King Darius’ much larger forces, Alexander introduced a revolutionary tactic: the sarissa, a sixteen-foot spear that gave his soldiers reach and precision. Advancing in a wedge formation, the Macedonians struck with deadly force before Persian weapons could be effective.


The Persians broke rank and fled. King Darius himself tried to escape, only to be betrayed and killed by his own men. Alexander honored his fallen enemy by treating the Persian royal family with dignity and restraint. Eventually, he conquered the Persian Empire and set fire to its ancient capital, Persepolis, as a symbol of his triumph.


To unify his new empire, Alexander married Roxanne, the daughter of a defeated Persian noble. Ten thousand of his soldiers followed suit, marrying Persian women in a gesture of cultural fusion. To this day, the legacy of Alexander lives on in the regions once called Persia. His name, and even his blue-eyed features, remain etched into the genetic and cultural memory of the land.​
