Story added by alessandrocalabrese on March 18, 2020

The story of Alexander the great (at least in two movies) told step by step and on a 360° view. Alexander was only 20 when inherited the throne of Macedon. Two years later he started a campaign against the mighty Persian Empire, conquering it in less than 10 years, without a single defeat in battle. He died in mysterious circumstances at the age of 32 in Babylon. Probably the best option is to divide the film in three chapters: one about his childhood and the relationship with his parents, one about the events leading to Gaugamela, one about the campaigns in the eastern part of the empire until his death.read more

Description of Parmenion:

He was the most revered general in the Macedonian army, he served under three different kings, and was second in command both to Philip and Alexander during his conquest of Asia. He had a difficult relationship with Alexander, often arguing about military strategies (famous the episode when Parmenion advices the king to accept Darius's offers and retreat, and Alexander replied "if, I was Parmenion, I would do it, but I am Alexander"). He was killed in Ecbatana (where he was in charge of the back guard of the army) after a conspiracy that involved his son Philotas.
