Pella, Macedonia 340 B.C. 16 year-old Alexander studies under Aristotle but is old enough to take part in battle, and with his friends, is eager for manhood. While his father Philip is keeping his unruly empire under control, Alexander is charged with, protection of his mother and sister but is not named as Regent of Macedon, which rankles.
