Answer: C - Alexander the Great, the son of Philip II of Macedon, was responsible for the spread of Hellenistic culture in the ancient world. He inherited control of Greece from his father before eventually expanding the empire to include all of (what had been) the Persian Empire, some of Asia and parts of Africa. He held the titles “King of Macedon,” “Pharaoh of Egypt,” “King of Asia” and “King of Persia” at the time of his death in 323 B.C.E. at the age of 33. He is considered one of history’s greatest military commanders.
