Born July 20, 356 B.C., to parents King Philip II of Macedon and Queen Olympia, young Alexander lived the early years of his life in the lap of luxury that was the Pella region of Macedonia’s royal court. He alongside his sister were raised with a mother that was ever present and consequently became their most powerful role model, while their father spent the majority of their childhood involved in military as well as extramarital affairs.

Alexander the Great was only twenty years old when he inherited the throne of Macedon and possessed “the fullest measure the combination of physical attractiveness, athletic prowess, and intellectual distinction that had long been the Greek ideal” (Hollister 147).
