Alejandro III de Macedonia, más conocido como Alejandro Magno (griego: Μέγας Αλέξανδρος, romanización: Mégas Aléxandros);¹ (Pella, 20 o 21 de julio de 356 a. C.^2 3 – Babilonia, 10 o 13 de junio, de 323 a. C.),⁴ fue el rey deMacedonia desde 336 a. C. hasta su muerte. Hijo y sucesor de Filipo II de Macedonia y Olimpia de Epiro. Filipo lo había preparado para reinar, proporcionándole una experiencia militar y encomendando a Aristóteles su formación intelectual. Alejandro Magno dedicó los primeros años de su reinado a imponer su autoridad sobre los pueblos sometidos a Macedonia, que habían aprovechado la muerte de Filipo para rebelarse. Y enseguida —en el 334 a. C.— lanzó a su ejército contra el poderoso y extenso Imperio Persa, continuando así la empresa que su padre había iniciado poco antes de morir: una guerra de venganza de los griegos —bajo el liderazgo de Macedonia— contra los persas.⁵
