Alexander The Great


Let's make a good guess about this picture. Who is the person riding the horse? We all know him very well. He is Alexander The Great. This is just a painting of him. We will have a very great impression by looking at his expression and position. The way he holds his sword in the picture is normally done by the warriors who won the battle. So, from the picture, we can say that he was a successful warrior. Yes, he was. There is an honorable history about him and wicked battles he had succeeded. He was one of the most successful military commanders of all time and is presumed undefeated in battle. He is the youngest general in the history. He was born in Macedonia and died at Babylon. He died at the age of 32. 32 years old is really young. Yet, he had conquered other strong countries and built a huge empire. I would like to share one of his quotes. It is "I'm not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep. I'm afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion".
