Each generation has peered through the frosted glass of history and come to their own conclusion about Alexander the Great, be it enlightened ruler, military genius, megalomaniac, drunkard or despot. This extraordinary history draws on new discoveries in archaeology to tell the early story of Alexander and his rise - including detail on the tempestuous relationship between Alexander's parents, Philip and the Molossian princess Olympias, his education by Aristotle and the strict military training which would serve him so well in later years.
