In his short yet glorious life, this young Macedonian king swept across two-thirds of the known world and united it under one banner, often leading his armies to victory against overwhelming odds.
There is, however, one accolade Alexander held that cannot be disputed: military genius.
All of these titles and legends have at one time or another been attributed to the mighty congueror Alexander The Great - admittedly some by me in this very review. A man whose empire stretched from Hungary to India, a warrior who stood 10ft tall (OK, more like 5ft) and fired lightning bolts out of his arse.
