Im vierten Jahrhundert vor Christus hat ein junger Griechischer König von Makedonien(Mazedonien) einen Traum: Er möchte alle Völker der bis dahin bekannten Welt unter seiner Herrschaft vereinigen.
Um diesen Traum zu realisieren, startet er einen kühnen Eroberungsfeldzug durch Eurasien, ausgehend von Griechenland bis nach Indien.

Alexander the Great
Four men stood by the grave of a man,
The grave of Alexander the Proud:
They sang words without falsehood
Over the prince from fair Greece.
Said the first man of them:
‘Yesterday there were around the king
The men of the world – a sad gathering!
Though today he is alone.’
‘Yesterday the king of the brown world
Rode upon the heavy earth:
Though to-day it us the earth
That rides upon his neck.’
‘Yesterday’, said the third wise author,
‘Philip’s son owned the whole world:
Today he has nought
Save seven feet of earth’.
‘Alexander the liberal and great
Was wont to bestow silver and gold;
Today’ said the fourth man,
‘The gold is here and it is nought’.
Thus truly spoke the wise men
Around the grave of the high-king:
It was not foolish women’s talk
What those four sang.
