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 Ptolemy:

Ptolemy, son of Lagus, was one of the member of the companions, so among the highest Macedonian nobility. I was probably slightly older than the other companions, in his 30s during the great asian expedition. He was also on of the somatophilakoi (bodyguards) of Alexander, so one of his closest friends. In 324, when the army returned to Babylon, he was appointed satrap of Egypt, and he became king of this land around the year 305 BC, establishing a dynasty ended in 30 BC with the suicidal of Cleopatra and the Roman conquest.
