Alexander the Great (miniseries)

Alexander the Great (German: Terra X: Alexander der Große; French: Alexandre le Grand : de l'histoire au mythe) is a 2014 documentary miniseries about Alexander the Great, a co-production of ZDF, Arte and ORF for ZDF's brand Terra X.

Over the centuries, the myth of Alexander the Great, an illustrious conqueror of antiquity, has been enriched.

History retains from him the image of a fine strategist and an ambitious monarch who managed, in little more than a decade, to constitute an immense empire going from Greece to India.

Based on reconstructions, the documentary attempts to unravel the legend of historical reality, looking back on Alexander's journey, from his birth in 356 ʙᴄ to his presumably illness-related death in 323 ʙᴄ.

Filming locations took place in Greece, Iran, and a studio in Bulgaria.
