In the year 356 BC, a son was born to the King of Macedon, Philip II, and his wife, Queen Olympias.
While no one could have known it at the time, that boy would grow up to fundamentally change the map of the ancient world. Multiple ancient kingdoms and empires would fall to his armies.
However, just as he reached the zenith of his success, he died, leaving chaos and confusion in his wake.
Learn more about Alexander the Great and how he changed the map of the ancient world on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
