He was born in 356 BC in Pella, and his father was the king of Macedonia, Philip II.He succeeded him after his death. <\/b><\/span><\/p>\n When Alexander was 13, Philip began to search for a tutor. Philip<\/a> chose\u00a0Aristotle\u00a0and provided the Temple of the Nymphs at\u00a0Mieza as a classroom.<\/b>In return for teaching Alexander, Philip agreed to rebuild Aristotle’s hometown of\u00a0Stageira. Mieza was like a boarding school for Alexander and the children of Macedonian nobles, such as\u00a0Ptolemy,\u00a0Hephaistion, and\u00a0Cassander. Many of these students would become his friends and future generals, and are often known as the ‘Companions’.\u00a0<\/b><\/span><\/p>\nEDUCATION<\/b><\/h4>\n
