The House of Ill Fame Painting by Hieronymus Bosch

Alexander then returned to his kingdom. History bears testimony to the fact that he fought a number of wards and won them. He conquered many lands, but could not live long. This World-Conqueror, who once expressed his sorrow that there were no more countries for him to subdue, died at an early age of thirty three. He died in a foreign land due to high fever caused by infected injuries. Pythia had correctly foretold his future.
