He conquered the known world by age 25, and not only did Alexander the Great win more than 40 battles, he likely did so while intoxicated, riding bareback, and wearing skimpy battledress. Welcome to Secret Life of Alexander the Great.
This cheeky, provocative new biographical series deliciously dishes dirt on icons of the past. Think Napoleon, Catherine the Great, and Casanova. Then take the visual appeal of Entertainment Tonight, throw in a dash of Monty Python humor, and subject it all to rigorous historical accuracy. The result? A rare glimpse into the world of the rich, famous, and scandalous.
