About this listen

In 336 BCE, a young Macedonian king inherits a fragile throne in a world shaped by rival empires and ancient grudges. As Greece remains divided and the Persian Empire stretches across continents, Alexander moves swiftly to secure his rule, crushing rebellions and consolidating power through force and fear.


With the League of Corinth bound to his cause and tensions rising across the Hellespont, preparations for an unprecedented invasion begin. In the spring of 334 BCE, Alexander gathers his army at the edge of Europe, ready to challenge the greatest empire of the ancient world.
