		Born Alexander III in Pella, Macedon, he was the son of King Philip II of Macedon and Epirote princess Olympias.

		Philip having militarily and diplomatically established Macedonian hegemony in Greece, Alexander set off in 334 BC on his famous conquests, the first and most well known of which was the defeat and subjugation of Persia (which then controlled a large area including what are now the modern nations of Iran, Iraq, Syria and Turkey).
