The short but extraordinary reign of Alexander the Great (336–323 BCE) reshaped the ancient world. In just over a decade, he forged an empire stretching from Greece to India, spreading Greek culture far beyond its original borders. His methods of conquest and administration influenced generations of rulers, and his extraordinary achievements elevated him to near-mythic status. Through the lens of historical texts, inscriptions, artwork and other material remains, we will consider Alexander's personality and achievements, his approach to empire, the characteristics of the world that he created, and his posthumous reputation and elevation to an enduring cultural symbol across the Mediterranean and the Near East.
