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 Seleucus:

Seleucus, son of Antiochus, was one of Alexander's companions and so part of an aristocratic macedonian family. He served during his campaign in Asia, and was appointed, after the return in Babylon, satrap of that region. After Alexander's death he served as general for Perdiccas, but betrayed him and sided with Ptolemy against Antigonus, new strategos of Asia. After the battle of Gaza (312) he gained all the provinces east of the Euphrates, and after Ipsus (301) Sirya and part of Asia Minor. He died in 281 killed by Ptolemy Ceraunos, but his successors ruled Syria and other regions until 64 BC.
