Summary

Alexander III is venerated as one of history’s greatest figures, forging an empire stretching over three continents in just 13 years. However, the man known as “Alexander the Great” showed many dark tendencies thought-out his life time. Some historians suggest that Alexander was a rage-filled, paranoid, alcoholic who potentially suffered from PTSD and possible brain damage. On today’s show, we dive into the factors that could have contributed to Alexander’s bizarre and murderous behavior.
