The Life of Alexander the Great

Symbol #1

322

I chose a sword as Alexander the Great symbol. The sword symbolizes " power, protection, authotiy, strength, and courage". Alexander had the courage to take over after his father's death. http://fencing-sword.invisiblefences.co.uk/swords/

Symbol #2

322

The second symbol I chose was a lion. A lion symbolizes " majesty, strengh, courage, justice, and military might". Alexander the Great shows his military might in many ways, but mainly the number of places he conquered. http://animals.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/african-lion/
