Transcription: We are not certain about the way in which Alexander was taught warfare strategy. His father must have given him the basic principles as Philip was an important military man. In fact, Philip was the person who showed Alexander what a real battle was like. Alexander, however, had also been familiarized with theories, facts and techniques about war from studying texts of Herodotus and Xenophon. noted that the work of Xenophon, an abbasis of Kyros, has been characterized as an introduction to the conquest of Alexander.
