Alexandros III , son of Phillip II of Macedon, is considered the preeminent military genius of all time. But Alexander was more than just a conqueror. He was a man with a vision of a united world and the equality of many cultures. This reincarnation is based on Alexander's portrayal by novelist Mary Renault. Although some historians sniff at her work, claiming it is too romanticized, I have found her to be meticulous in her research and her conclusions about which sources seemed to be the most accurate, convincing.
