There are some characters buried deep in the pages of the history books that simply refuse to lie down quietly in the past, and Alexander The Great is most definitely one of them. The Mythology that surrounds the young king who set out to conquer the world is at times phenomenal and there are many versions of the unstoppable rise and catastrophic fall of Alexander The Great. However unlike many legends of the ancient world there is evidence that Alexander did exist and piecing together his meteoric advance through Greece and ancient Persia to reach India follows a truely fascinating trail. For some, Alexander was a fearless leader who epitomised vision and charisma, but for others he was one of the early despots, proving the old adage that absolute power corrupts absolutely. As this wonderful story unfolds, you can decide for yourself whether Alexander The Great deserves to be revered as a hero or reviled as one of history"s "Bad Boys", but whatever the outcome, one thing"s for certain, love him or hate him, Alexander The Great can never be ignored.
