　　A

　　As the forceful king of Macedonia（马其顿），Alexander the Great overthrew the Persian Empire，becoming a hero that would survive centuries after his death.

　　Born in 356 B.C.，Alexander Ⅲ was the son of Philip Ⅱ and Olympias.Alexander's parents wanted him to receive the finest education，and arranged for him to study under Aristotle，regarded as one of the greatest scholars.

　　Alexander's father was a strong leader.Philip Ⅱ built an impressive army and established the Macedonian kingdom；he was even planning to attack Persia shortly before his death.

　　In 336 B.C.，Philip Ⅱ was murdered by one of his guards.Although it was obvious that the guard had a personal hatred，there were clues that other people were related to it.

　　After Alexander was cleared as a suspect，he succeeded his father without opposition，and killed those said to be responsible for his father's murder，as well as all rivals.He was then just 20 years old.He then prepared to attack Persia.

　　In the spring of 334 B.C.，Alexander led the army made up of nearly 50,000 soldiers into Asia，which was called “the most powerful military expedition（远征）ever to leave Greece”．He soundly defeated the Persian army at the Granicus River，sending a strong message to Darius Ⅲ，leader of the Persian Empire.
