It is said that he was born from Zeus himself, a demi-god in the flesh.
He tamed an unbreakable wild stallion that full-grown men feared to approach at the age of 12, and that horse would carry him to military victory after military victory until his untimely death at the age of 32.
He was tutored by one of the ancient world's greatest thinkers.
His name says it all- Alexander The Great.
But how much about Alexander is really true, and what's fiction?
And ultimately, with a whopping zero instagram followers, can we truly say he was all that great?
Haters and historians alike will tell you that Alexander the Great was born in 356 BC to the Macedonian king Phillip II and his wife, Olympias.
A true Greek however knows that Alexander was actually the love child of Zeus himself, who had a nasty habit of popping down to earth and taking various animal shapes to con women into sleeping with him.
In many ways, Zeus was the original frat boy.
Alexander's father was already an impressive figure - a brilliant military leader and politician both.
