    When Alexander the Great was just eight years old he could tame a horse that others could not. Then, when the horse died later, he named a city after it.

    I thought it was interesting that Alexander conquered so many lands. I wonder if he had someting to do with the death of his father. I heard that Alexander hunted down and killed Darius's murderer.

    It's amazing how many developments were made in Alexander's former kingdom. Past society was based maninly on Stoicism, with religon being of the upmost importance. Current society reflects Epicureanism, with humans pursing pleasures, but in excess.

    Section 4: I thought it was interesting that when Alexander became king he was only 20 years old. Despite his age, he still invaded and conquered many empires.

    Section 5: I thought it was interesting that Alexander had the ability to bring different cultures together and form a whole new culture.
