Cyber Day Number 7!!!

Today I will write about the lives of Philip II, Alexander the Great, and Darius III.

Philip the second was born in 382 BC and became king of Macedonia in 359 BC and reigned until he was assassinated in 336 BC. He led the kingdom of Macedonia to victory against the Greek city-states and was able to reinstate the phalanx as Macedonia's own. He led the Greek city-states to establish the League of Corinth and he was instated as the hegemon and commander in chief.

Alexander the Great was born July 10th or 11th in 356 BC. He was the successor of the Kingdom of Macedonia once his father had died. He took over when his father died, he was twenty-two years old at this time. He was an extremely strong leader for Macedonia and was able to lead and expand their empire massively. He was undefeated in battle and ended with the largest empire known to the ancient war. He died in Babylon in June 323 BC.

Darius III was born in 380 BC and was originally named Artashata. He began ruling the Achaemenid Empire of Persia in 336 BC. He inherited a very unstable and jealous ridden empire. In 334 BC Alexander the Great invaded Persia and ended up defeating the Persian army and looting their capital. He defeated them and took their capital in 330 BC which is when Darius' rule came to an end. Before Alexander could reach Darius he was murdered by his own cousin.

That is all!
