Death of Alexander the Great. (may 6, 323 BC – aug 26, 310 BC)
Description:
Alexander III of Macedonia was the king of Macedonia from 336 a. C. until his death. In his thirteen-year reign, he completely changed the political and cultural structure of the area by conquering the Achaemenid Empire and beginning a period of extraordinary cultural exchange, in which the Greeks expanded into the Mediterranean and the Near East. It is called the Hellenistic period (323 BC-30 BC) So much so that his exploits have made him a myth and, in some moments, almost a divine figure, possibly because of the deep religiosity he expressed throughout his life.Added to timeline:
