supports: Alexander III of Macedon (20/21 July 356 BC  10/11 June 323 BC), commonly known as Alexander the Great ("Aléxandros ho Mégas" ), was a king ("basileus") of the Ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon and a member of the Argead dynasty. Born in Pella in 356 BC, Alexander succeeded his father, Philip II, to the throne at the age of twenty. He spent most of his ruling years on an unprecedented military campaign through Asia and northeast Africa, and by the age of thirty he had created one of the largest empires of the ancient world, stretching from Greece to northwestern India. He was undefeated in battle and is widely considered one of history's most successful military commanders. Basileus is a Greek term and title that has signified various types of monarchs in history. In the English-speaking world it is perhaps most widely understood to mean "king" or "emperor". The best known use of the title is by the Byzantine emperors, but the title also has a longer history of use by sovereigns and other persons of authority in ancient Greece, as well as for the kings of modern Greece. Pella, is an ancient city located in Central Macedonia, Greece, best known as the historical capital of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedon in the time of Alexander the Great. On the site of the ancient city is the Archaeological Museum of Pella. India, officially the Republic of India ("Bhrat Gaarjya"), is a country in South Asia.

A historian is a person who researches, studies, and writes about the past, and is regarded as an authority on it. Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. If the individual is concerned with events preceding written history, the individual is a historian of prehistory. Although "historian" can be used to describe amateur and professional historians alike, it is reserved more recently for those who have acquired graduate degrees in the discipline. Some historians, though, are recognized by publications or training and experience. "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere. Greece (' ), officially the Hellenic Republic (Greek: ' ), historically also known as Hellas ("" ), is a country in southeastern Europe. 
  Greece's population is approximately 10.955 million as of 2015. Athens is the nation's capital and largest city, followed by Thessaloniki. Hieronymus of Cardia ( Greek :  ) , Greek general and historian from Cardia in Thrace , was a contemporary of Alexander the Great ( 356 -- 323 BC ) . After the death of Alexander he followed the fortunes of his friend and fellow - countryman Eumenes . He was wounded and taken prisoner by Antigonus , who pardoned him and appointed him superintendent of the asphalt beds in the Dead Sea . He was treated with equal friendliness by Antigonus 's son Demetrius , who made him polemarch of Thespiae , and by Antigonus Gonatas , at whose court he died at the age of 104 . He wrote a history of the Diadochi and their descendants , embracing the period from the death of Alexander to the war with Pyrrhus ( 323 -- 272 BC ) , which is one of the chief authorities used by Diodorus Siculus ( xviii . - xx . ) and also by Plutarch in his life of Pyrrhus . He made use of official papers and was careful in his investigation of facts . The simplicity of his style seemingly rendered his work unpopular to people of his time , but modern historians believe it was very good . In the last part of his work he made a praiseworthy attempt to acquaint the Greeks with the character and early history of the Romans . He is reproached by Pausanias ( i. 9 . 8 ) with unfairness towards all rulers with the exception of Antigonus Gonatas . No significant amount of his work survived the end of the ancient world . Like the even more famous lost history of Alexander by Ptolemy I of Egypt , not one book , not one chapter has seen the light of day . See Lucian , Macrobii , 22 ; Plutarch , Demetrius , 39 ; Diod .
