Tarix
İmperiya
Makedoniyalı İsgəndər, Qədim Yunanıstanın Makedoniya çarlığının hökmdarı (Basilevs) və nümayəndəsi oldu. Eramızdan əvvəl 356-cı ildə Pellada doğulan İsgəndər atası Makedoniyalı II Filipdən ölümündən sonra 20 yaşında taxta çıxdı. O, 30 yaşına qədər qədim dünyanın ən böyük imperiyalarından birini (Yunanıstandan Misirə və Şimal-qərbi Hindistana qədər) yaradana qədər hakimiyyətinin çox hissəsini Asiya və Şimal-şərqi Afrika boyunca hərbi kampaniyalarda keçirdi. O, döyüşdə məğlub edilməz idi və tarixdəki ən müvəffəqiyyətli hərbi komandanlardan biri hesab edilir.
Gəncliyində İsgəndər filosof Aristoteldən 16 yaşına qədər dərs aldı. Atası II Filippin öldürülməsindən sonra eramızdan əvvəl 336-cı ildə taxta çıxan İsgəndər güclü dövləti və təcrübəli ordunu miras alıb. O, Yunanıstanın generallığı ilə mükafatlandırıldı və bu səlahiyyətdən atasının hərbi işğal planlarını həyata keçirməyə başlamaq üçün istifadə eddi. E.ə. 334-cü ildə o, Anatoliyanı idarə edən Əhəmənilər imperiyasını işğal eddi və 10 il davam edən hərbi əməliyyatlara başladı. İsgəndər həlledici döyüşlərdə, xüsusilə İss və Qavqamel döyüşlərində Əhəmənilər imperiyasının gücünü məhv eddi. O, axırda Əhəmənilər imperiyası hökmdarı III Daranı hakimiyyətdən salıb və Əhəmənilər imperiyasının tamamını işğal eddi. Bu zaman onun imperiyası Adriatik dənizindən Hind çayına qədər uzanırdı.
"Dünyanın sonuna və Böyük Xarici Dənizə" çatmaq istəyən İsgəndər E.ə. 326-cı ildə Hindistanı işğal eddi, ancaq ordusunun tələbi onu geri qayıtmağa məcbur eddi. İsgəndər E.ə. 323-cü ildə paytaxt etmək istədiyi Babil şəhərində bəlkə də Ərəbistanın işğalı ilə başlayacaq hərbi yürüşlərini həyata keçirə bilmədən öldü. Onun ölümündən sonrakı illərdə bir çox vətəndaş müharibələri onun imperiyasını parçaladı və İsgəndərin generalları və varisləri — Diadoxinin idarə etdiyi dövlətlər yarandı.
İsgəndərin mirasına işğallarının səbəb olduğu yunan-buddist kimi mədəni diffuziyalar daxildir. O, İsgəndəriyyə də daxil olmaqla öz adını daşıyan təqribən iyirmi şəhərin əsasını qoydu. İsgəndərin yunan mühacirlərini məskunlaşdırması və şərqdə Yunanıstan mədəniyyətinin yayılması yeni ellinizm sivilizasiyasının yaranmasına səbəb oldu və bu sivilizasiyanın xüsusiyyətləri XV əsrin ortalarında Bizans imperiyasının ənənələrində və 1920-ci illərə qədər mərkəzi və uzaq şərqi Anatoliyada yunanca danışanların olmasında görülür. İsgəndər Axilles kimi klassik qəhrəman oldu və o, tarixdə və yunan və qeyri-yunan mədəniyyətlərinin əfsanələrində xarakterizə olundu. İsgəndər hərbi liderlərin özünü müqayisə etdiyi ölçü vasitəsi oldu və dünyanın bir çox yerində hərbi akademiyalar hələ də onun hərbi taktikalarını öyrədir.İsgəndər tez-tez müəllimi Aristotel ilə yanaşı olaraq bütün dövrlərin ən çox təsir gücünə malik şəxsləri arasında sıralanır.

But as things are, forgive me Diogenes, that I imitate Herakles, and emulate Perseus, and follow in the footsteps of Dionysos, the divine author and progenitor of my family, and desire that victorious Hellenes should dance again in India and revive the memory of the Bacchic revels among the savage mountain tribes beyond the Kaukasos."[ölü keçid]On the Fortune of Alexander by Plutarch, 332 a-b - Alexander addressing the dead Hellenes (the Athenian and Thebean Greeks) of the Battle of Chaeronea: "Holy shadows of the dead, I'm not to blame for your cruel and bitter fate, but the accursed rivalry which brought sister nations and brother people, to fight one another.

I tell you, then, that Mardonius and his army cannot get omens to his liking from the sacrifices. Otherwise you would have fought long before this. Now, however, it is his purpose to pay no heed to the sacrifices, and to attack at the first glimmer of dawn, for he fears, as I surmise, that your numbers will become still greater. Therefore, I urge you to prepare, and if (as may be) Mardonius should delay and not attack, wait patiently where you are; for he has but a few days' provisions left. If, however, this war ends as you wish, then must you take thought how to save me too from slavery, who have done so desperate a deed as this for the sake of Hellas in my desire to declare to you Mardonius' intent so that the barbarians may not attack you suddenly before you yet expect them.

On the road there, he met with the families of Greeks who had deported to Persia by previous kings, and true to his slogan, he honoured them conspicuously, giving them money, five changes of clothing, farm animals, corn, a free passage home, and exemption from taxes and bureaucratic harassments." p. 256,2) "To his ancestors (to a Persian's ancestors) Macedonians were only known as 'yona takabara', the 'Greeks who wear shields on their heads', an allusion to their broad-brimmed hats." p. 104,3) "Alexander was not the first Greek to be honoured as a god for political favour." p. 131,4) "In spirit, Alexander made a gesture to the Lydians' sensitivities, though his Greek crusade owed them nothing as they were not Greeks." p. 128. , Alexander the Great, Penguin Books, UK, 1997 - Katheryn A.
