Born in 356 BC in Pella, the capital of Macedonia. Because Alexander's mother Olympia is arbitrary and mysterious, she even records that she likes sleeping with snakes, which makes her very disgusted with Philip II, but it has a great influence on her son Alexander. During the expedition, Alexander often wrote to her mother and told her stories. Due to the rumors in Macedonia at that time and the display of the Oracle of Amon later, it is generally believed that Alexander is the son of Zeus. Before Alexander was born, Olympia dreamed of lightning, and a goddess temple in the center of Pella caught fire and burned down, causing panic in the neighborhood. Several fortune tellers said it was a precursor to the coming catastrophe. At this time, a man said, "On the day when the Goddess Temple burned, a boy was born on the same day. After that, he will destroy the whole of Asia."

Alexander's growth was greatly influenced by Homer's Iliad, the character Achilles and the legendary Hercules (his parents' royal families were called the descendants of Hercules and Achilles respectively). When Alexander was young, Philip II was in Mieza (μ? 0? 7 epsilon zeta alpha) mentor. Aristotle gave him complete eloquence and literary training, which stimulated his interest in science, medicine and philosophy. Alexander showed his talent in music and equestrian in his early childhood. According to Plutarch's records, in 344 BC, 12-year-old Alexander discovered a horse that others thought could not be tamed. He only whispered a few words to the horse and succeeded in taming it. He named the horse Severus (β ου κ? 0? 5φαλο? 0? 9)。 At that time, Philip said happily:

"My son, find you a kingdom commensurate with you. Macedonia has not given you enough space. "

In 340 BC, Philip fought against the Byzantine city-state (ancient Greek immigrant city-state). 16-year-old Alexander ruled Macedonia on behalf of his father and led troops to suppress μ α? 0? 7 Δ ο ο Uprising, establishing a city A λ ε ξ α ν ρ? 0? 2πολι? 0? 9。 In 338 BC, 18-year-old Alexander was in Seroney (χ α η ρ? 0? 4νεεα) Command the left wing of Macedonian army in battle and destroy Thebes (θ? 6? 8βαι) The elite troops of the polis: Thebes Saint Team (? 6? 9ερ? 6? 0? 0? 9 λ? 0? 2χο? 0? 9)。 In the same year, Philip established the Corinthian Union to consolidate the peace between the Greek city-states under the leadership of Macedonia.

In 337 BC, Philip II divorced Olympia, and then married the Macedonian aristocrat talos (Aπαλo? 0? 9) niece Cleopatra (κ λ ε ο π? 0? 4τρα)。 When talos commented on the wedding banquet of Philip II and Cleopatra, he said that the Macedonian royal family would have a legal heir (estimation is a metaphor that Cleopatra's children will replace Alexander as the heir of the kingdom), Alexander replied:

"What about me, you mean person? What do you take me for ... bastard? "

Then he threw the glass at him. When Philip stood in a chair under the protection of talos and drew his sword at Alexander, he fell down on the chair with anger because he was drunk and unstable. Alexander sneered:

"Look! A king who wants to sweep Asia Minor from Europe can't even jump over a chair. "

After being expelled by Philip, Alexander fled to Epirus with his mother Olympia, and his stable inheritance right in Macedonia was questioned. Soon after, Philip sent an envoy to recall Alexander, make peace with him, and return to Macedonia in autumn.

In 336 BC, when Philip II held his daughter's wedding in Ege, he was assassinated by the royal bodyguard Pausanias. His plan has no final answer. Olympia is suspected to be the mastermind, because she openly expressed her joy and was associated with the murderer Epirus. On behalf of Macedonian officials, Alexander accused the murderer of being instructed by Persian King Darius Iii, which became the reason for his later attack on Persia.
