About this listen

Alexander the Great lit up the world and left those around him to pick up the ashes. We know the stories of his conquests, rise to the very top, and ultimately his death — but what about after? What happened to his friends and family?

Meet Cassander, the cut-throat figure who “watched” over Alexander’s home of Macedonia as he conquered far-off lands. Join us as we uncover Cassander’s story and find out why it’s not always good to be related to those at the very top.
