The presentation traces King Philip II’s expansion and death, then follows Alexander the Great’s upbringing under Aristotle, his conquest campaign from 334–331 B.C.E., and the formation of Alexander’s far-reaching empire. It explains the empire’s division after his death and how his impact helped spread Greek “Hellenistic” culture across regions from Egypt to India, influencing science, art, philosophy, literature, and
