Description:
Alexander was born in 356 B.C.E. to King Philip II of Macedon and Queen Olympias. Growing up, Alexander rarely saw his father, who was usually involved in long military campaigns. Olympias, a fierce and possessive mother, dominated her son's youth and filled him with a deep resentment of his father. Nonetheless, their son's education was important to both parents.
