Presenting

We presented our PowerPoint Friday and only got through a couple.  We basically talked about how Olympius  Alexander's mother had her husbands wife killed as well as her child.  This was to make sure Alexander would become king.  Then we talked a little about Bucephalus was tamed by him when no one else could.  Also, Alexander was taught by Aristotle.  And he and his mother ran away when Phillip tried to kill him.  When he came back to take control he had the man who killed his father assassinated.  Olympius also claimed Alexander was the son of Zeus. Darius was who they fought against the Persians.  Died at the age of 32, and he was poisoned.  Think one of his wine pourers did it to him.  Just a theory though.  encouraged people to mix.  Hellenistic: combined culture.
