In Greek mythology, Makedon is the eponymous hero of Macedonia and is mentioned in Hesiod’s Catalogue of Women. The first historical mention of the Macedonians occurs in the works of Herodotus during the mid-5th century BC.
The book’s seventeen chapters cover the history of Macedonia from pre-Philip II (Alexander’s father), until Alexander’s death. Highlights include the many battles of Alexander with Persia, the sack of Persepolis and the death of Darius, the founding of Alexandria, and Alexander’s conquest of India.
