Alexander the Great

the king of Macedonia, the great conqueror

Alexander is probably represented in Daniel by the "belly of brass" (Dan. 2:32), and the leopard and the he-goat (7:6; 11:3,4). He succeeded his father Philip, and died at the age of thirty-two , B.C. 323. His empire was divided among his four generals.
