Assuming you are taking about Alexander the Great, Alexander had several reasons. Under his father, Philip, the Greek city states were unified. Alexander had dreams of becoming a conqueror sprouting from early childhood. After Philip’s murder, Alexander set out to conqueror everything in his path. Alexander was taught by Aristotle, who showed him a map of the known world. Alexander was a fierce general and fierce leader, who sought world domination. Alexander was a man of culture, creating the Hellenistic (blend of Indian, Greek, Persian, African Egyptian cultures) Age in Greece. As technology was nowhere near what it is today, an Emperor or King would have to travel with his military in order to have latest news. It would take days or weeks for a runner or rider to relay information to the capitol, so it made the most sense for a king / general to be with the military. Alexander was beloved by his subjects and his military, but also showed no mercy to those who opposed him, even burning his own city and erasing all of its history when a few of the citizens organized a rebellion. It is pretty obvious why Alexander left Macedonia - he had to be on the front lines leading his men in conquest.

Which best describes an ancient Greek tragedy?

Artemon [7]

An ancient Greek tragedy includes a character that faces a tragic flaw, and learns a moral/lesson. The character usually has a foil.

An example of a tragedy: Antigone. It was a book that showed the fate of people who had pride. Creon noticed his flaw too late, and then he faced fate, as Haimon killed himself after Antigone's death. I recommend you read this Greek tragedy, very interesting.

Before becoming an empire, Rome was a Republic which was founded in 509 BCE. Rome represented a republic democracy and most of the wealthy families held power and the major offices in Rome.
