The invasion of the achaemenid empire had always been on top of the list for alexander the great. Ever since he came to power, the king had desired the submission of darius iii, the reigning king of the persians at that time. Though he defeated the king in two battles and eventually conquered its territories, alexander appears to have soon found a deep love for persian customs and traditions. Of course, the king's gradual change and assimilation of persian culture did not sit well with the macedonian people.
