About this episode
The episode discusses Alexander the Great's rise to power and the challenges he faced as a young king.
Is it safe to hand control of the deadliest army in the world to a 20-year old? If you are Thracian, Triballian, Illyrian or Theban, the answer is definitely no. Alexander becomes king and fights off threats to his rule in all directions.
