Alexander the Great's Final Battle

Great Alexander

Ultimately Submitting

Death far ungracious 

 

Author's Note

We will probably never know the truth, of Alexander's mysterious death, even though new theories are still coming out. Alexander the Great, the Macedonian king and the great conqueror, died at the age of 33, on June 10, 323 BC. Three days earlier, on the 7th of June, 323 BC, the Macedonians were allowed to file past their leader for the last time before he finally succumbed to the illness. Alexander died without designating a successor. His death opened the anarchic age of the Diadochi and the Macedonian Empire will eventually cease to exist.

These are the kind of poems I love most! Short and powerful. Wonderful. Flora.
