    Four great personalities that walked the city of Athens- 1.Socrates. 2. Plato- Socrates' best student.. 3. Aristotle- Plato's best student and 4. Alexander the great was Aristotle's best student...just how a great teacher can inspire one to conquer one's dreams.

    Alexander the Great's life is such a fascinating subject for a documentary! His conquests and strategies reshaped the ancient world and have influenced military tactics and political landscapes for centuries. It's always intriguing to explore how his early life and education under Aristotle shaped his future as a conqueror. The blend of history, culture, and sheer ambition in Alexander's story makes it an endlessly captivating topic. Can't wait to see what insights and perspectives Part 1 offers on his extraordinary journey! 🌟📚🌍

    18:10 ''Bucephalus'' story is a great metaphor.
    That ''stubborn'' stallion symbolizes the Greek states; majestic but fearfull of their own shadow. Many tried to enforce the horse for a ride but none understood what is the root of the problem and failed to ride him. When he faced the Stallion to the Persia/East/Sun he let those fears fall behind and have found his soothing goal. That story tells us his vision and narrative in Greek politic scene. It's not about the charisma of a person.

    Cannot believe how so many historians discount Alexander as the person behind his father's killing. He had massive motive and had a serious fall out with his father shortly before. The killer only the most flimsy of excuses for Regicide and almost nothing to gain (except if Alexander/mom had told him he would be rewarded graciously for the act). Meanwhile Alexander stood to gain everything - or lose it all by inaction. The killer fled - and somehow conveniently it was Alexander and his friends who caught up with him in short order and "unfortunately" killed him on the spot so he could not be interrogated for a possible wider palace plot (remember the Macedonian courts - including Alexander's - were rife with leadership plots). While also forcing all of Philippe's loyal generals who were unprepared to immediately declare for Alexander himself or risk getting slain too. Afterwards the new wife and child are slain. Was a nice result for an evening's work for the new King to celebrate in style.

Even just the throne of Macedonia he fought for, having assassinated all of his siblings that were in line to take the throne before him due to him being illegitimate.

      @@FelixstoweFoamForge that’s such a terrible analogy. So based on your words you might as well say that leonidas was Spartan not Greek or Pericles was Athenian not Greek. That would be the dumbest thing to say because they are both the same thing!! Athenians Spartans Corinthians Macedonians etc, all spoke the Greek and worshipped the Greek gods and spoke dialects of Greek and all these Greek city states are part of the GREEK WORLD.

      @@tasosk7818 Actually, I think if you'd said to Leonidas, or Pericles, "what are you?", the answers would have been "Spartan", and "Athenian." And if you knew anything about the ancient greek world, you'd know why. Attic and Doric Greek were very different dialects, the same way that High Dutch and High German were very different, you could just about understand each other, but it was a big difference. AND, Alexander the great did NOT spread "Greek" culture. what he spread was a slew of dead bodies. Nothing "Great" about that. Warlord and killer, nothing else.

Aristotle should have communities with Persion scholar's and educated diplomat's and dignatarirs ....on visits to Macadonia and Alex also observed these connective exchanges this is why he commissioned same exchanges with indian seer's in his anterage.....the ones who were narrow minded Alex gave instruction they were free to return to Greece if could not find it in there heart to be truly open minded about this

    Demosthenes never said the "Macedonians were not Greek"-In his speech he said the Macedonians were barbaric-for being a Kingdom with slaves-not a democracy led by citizen councils. He meant this as a way of denigrating Philip and inciting the Athenians to battle. A generation before Demosthenes speech-The Macedonians had competed in the Greek only Olympics. There was never any doubt of the "Greekness" of Macedonia. It is of interest to note, Demosthenes was the first to turn and run in a battle with the Macedonians, fleeing for his life. The Macedonians and their "Greekness" were forever proven when in 1977 Andronikos found the Royal Tombs and the Burial tomb of Philip in Vergina, Northern Greece. A small Greek child can read the inscription on Philip's armor and shield. "Philipas Bassilias"- Philip the King in Greek. The ancient historians from the Egyptians, Jews, Persians, Hindu, Roman and Greek could not all be liars as to the Greekness of the Macedons. I am Macedonian from Mother Greece born in the Great city of Thessaloniki.

      Nah he was definitely killed by that rent boy bodyguard in a jealous rage. If it was planned they would’ve taken him out whilst he was vulnerable… sleeping and a greater chance of escape. Not at a wedding Infront of everyone and getting killed just afterwards. But yeah Alexander and his mother are suspicious as hell so your suspicious are credited. Their actions after Phillips death are probably influenced by the amount of killing & betrayal that had previously happened for the throne.
