English Essay, Paragraph, Speech on “Alexander the Great” for Kids and Students for Class 8, 9, 10, Class 12 and Graduation Examination

Alexander the Great

On July 20, 356 B.C., Olympics, the wife of King Philip the Second of Macedonia, gave birth to a son and named him Alexander. This boy eventually became known as Alexander the Great. The actual date of his birth still lies in question. Though July 20 seems to be the most widely accepted one, that date may have been chosen to align with other important dates in Alexander’s life. It is also said that on the day of his birth, the Temple of Artemis burned down, thus indicating it was a good omen for Alexander’s future greatness. Alexander was never really all that close to either one of his parents, but he had an especially bad relationship with his father General Attalus. This meant that if Philip and Cleopatra had a son, that the son would be the legitimate heir to the throne since Alexander’s mother Olympics was a foreigner. Fortunately for Alexander, Cleopatra and Philip’s marriage did not yield a child. Often as a child, he would get discouraged when the news came home that his father had conquered and taken another territory. This was because he was worried that there would be nothing left for him to do.
