Incredibly awesome, totally amazing spectacular post.

Today in class we began watching a video on Alexander's conquest. I acquired a lot of important information form said video. For instance, Alexander's mother was really weird and part of a cult that worshipped Dionysus, the Greek god of partying and wine. This weirdness eventually led to King Philip, pushing her to the side and marrying a different woman, eventually another son whom he grew fond of. Alexander, however, was studying with Aristotle at the time and didn't know what was going on. When he returned home after five years of study, he was infuriated that, not only did his father leave his mother, but that his new half brother seemed to be favored by his father as the heir to his thrown. Alexander and his father grew apart due to violent arguments and conflict. On day, at some sort of party or whatever, King Philip was fatally stabbed in the neck by on of his officers, dying almost instantly. Thus, Alexander was free to take the throne, and did just that. A new age of conquest would soon be ushered in.
