Description
Alexander III of Macedon, was a greek king of Macedon. He is considered one of the most successful commanders of all time. Died at the age of 32 in 323 BC in Babylon after creating one of the largest empires in ancient history. You can say that he is the "father of globalization" because in his short-lived empire he spread the Greek culture into the East, as far as the Persian Empire and India. And all of this with the help of his horse Bucephalus, that accompanied him in all his campaings until died in India.Alexandre III da Macedônia, foi um grego Rei da Macedônia. Ele é considerado um dos comandantes de maior sucesso de todos os tempos. Morreu aos 32 anos em 323 AC na Babilônia depois de criar um dos maiores impérios da história antiga. Pode-se dizer que ele foi o "pai da globalização", porque em seu curto império, ele espalhou a cultura grega no Leste, tão distante quanto o Império Persa e a India. E tudo isso com a ajuda de seu cavalo Bucéfalo, que o acompanhou em todas suas campanhas, vindo a morrer na India.

Hum... Yeah, I've gone deeper in the researches now that you said and they didnt used saddles, used just animal skins or leather, but I draw this using that famous mosaic as reference, and there, there was a leopard pelt over the horse and my imagination put a saddle to...
Lets say it is a poetic interpretation! heheh

Yeah, agreed! The movie should have been called "The gay emperor who conquered half the world and had a hot mother who appears to have the same age of his son" ...
But I think "Alexander the Great" was a shorter title, easier to get! heheh
I think they should not give so much importance to his sexuality, he could do whatever he wanted to... but I dont think this is so important for history at all...

Muito bom! Apesar de eu gostar infinitamente mais da Idade Média, Alexandre ainda é meu personagem histórico favorito.
