Movie Summary
This first episode examines the legend and legacy of Macedonian King, unrivalled military genius and conqueror of the ancient world Alexander the Great (356-323 BC). The passion, brilliance and excess with which Alexander lived reflected his hard warrior upbringing; and education at the hands of Aristotle; and his firm conviction, encouraged by his strong-willed mother, that he was born of the gods. After forging friendships for life at a young age – most importantly with the boy who would become his second-in-command and future love; and after the death of his father, Alexander seized the throne, killing all who stood in the way of his regal birth-right, including his baby step-brother. He then intimidated the Greek world into submission by destroying Thebes – “an act of deliberate terror,” according to Professor Brian Bosworth, and set about satisfying his lust for power and thirst for knowledge by conquering the 200-year-old enemy of Persia. He savagely repressed all opposition, yet often showed generosity to those who acknowledged his authority, and was welcomed as a liberator in Egypt. But despite believing in his own invincibility and divinity, he was unable to convince his loyal and battle-worn armies to follow him beyond Afghanistan and Pakistan into India. The death of his lover and friend prompted a drinking binge which killed him at the age of 33.
