Modern astrology includes various theories of the

cause of death, ranging from natural causes to deliberate poisoning. In the category of natural causes, one prevalent theory suggests that Alexander died of a fever caused by malaria or typhoid, both common in the battle. This view is supported by the recorded symptoms and the rapid progression of his illness. In the category of poisoning, another theory posits that Alexander was poisoned. The poisoning theory is rooted in political intrigue, and is quoted in various factions by the American public. Some accounts suggest that Antipater, a powerful general and governor, might have orchestrated

his death to prevent Alexander from executing him. And then there are reports of other illnesses.
