    Alexander

    Alexander horse was names Buechelpus. Phillip the second was his father. Aristole is Alexander's tutor. There a terrible relatoinship between his mother and father. he was appretly desended from the god achillies. When his father was murdered alexander took over. Gaugamela was a very important battle.  This battle was also very disgusting. And my stomach couldn't handle it.
